The lion king in Ngoro Ngoro crater
After a good night sleep in our camp at about 3000 meters above sea level, we stood up early to eat breakfast. A little behind schedule, with some stomach pain, we started our descend to the Ngoro Ngoro crater to look for lots of animals living there. We had a great day cruising at the bottom of the crater together with lots of different animals – most of them the same as in Serengeti.

At 05.30 the alarm clock went off, we slipped into our clothes and picked up our bags. A new adventure awaited. We set off for Serengeti at 06.30 and arrived our camp destination at 19.30 – exhausted. Still our driver Freddy had driven like a pro in “Rally Dakar”. After a flat tire and a motor breakdown we were lucky enough to get rescued by another Landcruiser and reached the camp just before sunset. 
Today we aimed at visiting the Chagga tribe nearby Kilimanjaro. We learned how they made iron spears and tools, cultivate coffe, ananas, bananas and learning about their history with gophers (soil caves) to hide from other tribes in their past. Further we walked to a beautiful waterfall nearby and nearly touched Kilimanjaro… Next time we’ll klimb it perhaps? 🙂 
We went up early in the morning to pack our bags to go to Dar-Es-Salaam. Before leaving we ate our last breakfast in the villa we stayed in. Our Cook Aisha made another great breakfast before we had to say goodbye. 
These are the days for relaxation. Waking up early in the morning to birds singing outside our villa. Spending days looking at the view – which was amazing. The fishermen came in with their catch and children and women came to help carrying it from the boats. By the way – Hakuna matata in Swahili means “Relax – no worries”.
