Arusha

After our morning of animal watching at Tarangire National Park, we started out trek to the airport via Arusha. We hit the City at its peak traffic jam, and snapped a couple of pictures of the area.

Ngorongoro Crater

Wow, this crater is absolutely awesome. We had great weather again today and the list was added to as we were able to view the black rhino, although only through binoculars, we were able to see the big 5 over our safari, thanks to our amazing driver, David, his offensive driving style, and not to mention his good pitching arm.
