A Leopard! Just before leaving!

The freezing campsite on the rim of the crater in Ngorongoro National Park. Wild pigs came around in the night Very cold
Wild donkeys in the rough terrain near Ngorongoro Crater
Driving through the local Maasai regions from Serengeti to Ngorongoro


There is actually a leopard in this tree but we couldn't get close enough to really see it at first as there were 16 other safari vehicles all around.

You can kind of see the leopard
these are all the other cars - there are severe fines if you drive off the track and the driver is then banned from all National Parks for several months but here it seemed like the risk was worth it as there was not much else around to look at.
I just loved these trees The leopard is right in the centre of this photo - we came back after lunch and there were no vehicles and still the leopard remainedThere he is and you can just see his kill in the tree below him in the picture - a Thompson's Gazelle
this was the illustration on the wall at the visitor's centre
