Ngorongoro
Jon likes pictures that tell him for sure where he was.
Ngoronogoro is a caldera, formed by the collapse of a volcanic cone. With a diameter of 10 miles, it is the largest intact caldera in the world. It is also an awesome habitat for thousands of animals.
This was the view from the balcony of our room on the rim.
The lodge we stayed in was designed to blend in with the landscape.  The rooms were comfortable and attractive.
Ngoronogoro is a popular tourist destination, and the animals have grown accustomed to safari vehicles. Some will permit you to come quite close. 

And others will come to you!
"Hi, folks!  Having a nice safari?"
"Wanna move to the shade?"
"This looks like a good spot."
"Very nice!  I think I'll take a little nap."
Ngorongoro isn't just about lions.  But you'll have to go to another page to see the other animals. There's also a beautiful Ngorongoro sunrise.
