Saw some wildebeests
I hear they taste pretty good.. and you can buy their meat in supermarkets in S. Africa

We came quite close to the elephants
This was taken like 2 minutes before the elephant charged at the frontmost vehicle.. didn't manage to get good shots of the charge.. cos our driver was reversing at full speed as well..

Flamingoes and hippos
see the hippos in the background

We came quite close to some lionesses as well..
quite close..

Aims and Results
Bro, just my personal opinion. You said that you embarked on this trip in the backpacker's way so that you can go out hitting the ground and be one with the locals. However, your pictures show the touristy photographs. Feels like I am looking at typical shots taken by a tourist, not an adventurer. Maybe you chose to convey that through your posts? But it would be nice to see a different side of your journey instead of just reading about it. Dun "niao" me hor! I only share my feelings with you mah! Heh heh... And also, you named one of your photopgraphs as "Close up of lioness" (http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Tanzania/Ngorongoro-Crater/blog-165458-21.html) First, there were two of them but secondly and more importantly, I don't think lionesses have spots... :/

erm.. backpackers are still tourists..
and backpackers also go see taj mahal and eiffel tower and machu pichu and merlion spew water and other touristy sites.. backpacking is just a shoestring way of travelling.. and from east africa southwards.. most of the places are already developed in tourism.. not all african countries are like sudan and ethiopia.. the lioness thing may be an upload glitch.. will check.. thanks!
