One or our volunteer docs invited me along on a trip to the Serengeti National Park.
They were traveling with a "budget" operator, which still means a private vehicle, driver/guide and a cook. My preferred way of experiencing wilderness is on foot with a pack on my back and a good topo map. The idea of paying hundreds of dollars per day to be chauffeured around and have someone else set up your tent for you is not my typical idea of fun. However, the places we went were so incredible that I just didn't care. Would I do it again? No. Was it worth every penny? Absolutely.
We went through the Ngorongoro crater first, truly one of the geological wonders of the world. It was such a lovely place that I completely forgot about my camera until afterward. I will try to get some of the panorama shots from the folks I was traveling with to post. I did pull out my camera to take a picture of this lion though.
Good times.
Here's an elephant too.
