Instead of heading back into the Ngorogoro crater again today, we decided to head to the far reaches of the Ngorogoro Conservation Area and hike down to the bottom of a smaller crater that I can't quite remember the name of at the very end of the park. The names of things are really hard to remember and even harder to spell.
We had a park ranger with us, as required by regulations, and he was actually quite good. Somebody has to always accompany tourists with their rifle in hand. Our ranger was a little bit plump so he did most of his talking on the decent but he did a good job pointing out various kinds of interesting poops for us. The view from the rim was pretty cool and the bottom of the crater was really pretty. There weren't very many animals today except for some ducks in the salt water lake at the bottom of the crater and 4 flamingos that we chased down to get some pictures. They don't really let people get less than a hundred yards from them though.
Lunch was in a perfect spot too. We had a clear view of the newest volcano that was formed and the only still active one in the park.
