| Ngorongoro was the reason for my trip. It seemed like a natural phenomenon that beggared belief. All that wildlife, packed into a crater 12 miles across? It was that, and it was spectacular. Unfortunately, it was the only time during my week that I felt that I was part of a Tourism Industry, as well. So many visitors, so much dry-season dust in the air. |
