Loved your blog on the Ngorongoro. Brought back a lot of memories of our safaris through Kenya and Tanzania a few years ago. The wildlife of Africa certainly spoil you for any zoo in the world. We visited the crater at the end of the dry season and can remember the many "dust devils" we saw, spiralling their way skywards. Some of them, great massive things! We get them in outback Australia too, during our hot, dry summers (but, call them "willy-willies") I can also remember never having felt so filthy dirty and dusty in my entire life. We were smothered in it. However, our group in our safari vehicle, were all in the same boat, so to speak but, what a great time we had! The wildlife experience more than made up for it. And, ultimately, the dirt washed off! But, I have to say, that next shower never felt so good! :) Jan
