Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team Visit Ngorongoro Crater and Maasai Village

Jambo everyone, Today we visited the famous Ngorongoro Crater. The crater is roughly 100 square miles and is known for its abundance of animals that call the crater home. We hit the road early with hopes of catching a few of the big cats before the heat of the day. There were many sightings today of hyenas, jackles, ostrich, and countless other birds. We didn’t manage to see too many Lions, but did get to see 3 Leopards while driving in and out of the crater, which was certainly a highlight. We saw several Black Rhinos which have become very rare do to poaching, however, they were only viewable through binoculars. We wrapped up the day with a visit to a Maasai village not far from the craters rim. The Maasai people are a semi-nomadic tribe that exist almost entirely off of their cattle. The team spent time asking questions and enjoyed being shown around their small and simple village. We have just finished another wonderful meal here at the Plantation Lodge RMI Guide Casey Grom and crew
