The Crater
Ida and Veronica write: Looking down on the crater from the Tanzanian hills was like something out of a movie, and yet it seemed so real. They say the crater used to be taller than Mt Kilimanjaro before it was formed by a natural disaster; it is truly a vision. Driving downwards, the clouds were below us and a massive field of green awaited us. We didn't expect the fauna to be so diverse, not knowing what lied ahead of us. The Crater looked so empty from above, but we found there just about any creature imaginable. The spectra ranged from flamingos, ostriches, baboons, monkeys, hippos, hyenas, zebras, wilder beasts, alive and dead elephants, warthogs, both female and male lions, and one very distinguished rhino in the distance. It was crazy to think that in the next generation might not ever have the opportunity to see a rhino, as it is on the road to extinction.
