The longest journey of our trip as we departed the Lobo Wildlife Lodge and headed for our final destination on the Ngorongoro crater rim. The drivers heard of some Cheetahs shortly after leaving the lodge and we went in search of them. They were spotted in long grass quite some distance away but the drivers predicted that they were heading for the shade of a large Acacia tree and as we positioned ourselves the two cats, a mother and youngster, appeared and settled down just a few feet from us giving fantastic views.

Several groups of Lions were spotted during the journey but the highlight of the day was a Black Rhino and calf seen distantly from the Ngorongoro crater rim.
