After
a couple days of great excitement and adventure, we said goodbye to the African
endless plain and began our journey to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The way, a picturesque road that offered more
breathtaking views of this beautiful country, Ninapenda Tanzania sana!!
By
around 4 PM, we arrived to Simba campsite, which is located on the rim of
Ngorongoro crater. It was quite foggy and much colder than I expected, which
made think that wild animals wouldn’t come that high up (2,600 mts), I mean, how
much do I know about wildlife anyways? I asked Miragez about this, to which he
responded with great excitement, Yes! you can find here elephants, buffaloes,
zebras, a particular type of lion, ... Ok, enough to make me take some
precautions:
Here how I set up my tent this time, right in front of Miragez’s, in case I had to scream or run for help...
The next morning we descended the Ngorongoro crater, the world's largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic crater (pretty neat J )!!!
After
a fun game ride in Ngorongoro, we headed back to Twiga campsite where I said
goodbye to my Colombian group and Miragez. , and stayed there to wait for my
private safari ...
After a couple hours waiting, the private safari guide (John, instead of Fred…) finally arrived to take me to a different campsite 20 minutes away. On the way there, John explained to me that I'd have to pay for food and park fees as Alfa hadn't given any money for that, Ah? I then called Alfa to once more “remind him” about the details of our agreement. After an hour, he then agreed to pay for food and park’s fees; adding the celebrated statement “Hakuna Matata”… To compensate for the trouble (yes, lots of Matata here), Alfa made arrangements for me to stay in a charming Bungalow at Panorama campsite.
