Our last location on the February 2025 safari was the Ngorongoro Crater. A crater is defined as a feature which is formed as a result of an outward explosion of rocks and is circular in appearance, while a caldera is formed as a result of inward collapse of a volcano and has uneven sides. Ngorongoro is very scenic and consists of forest, savannah plains, and a soda lake. It is thought to have formed about 2.5 million years ago from a large active volcano.
Often described as Tanzania’s “Garden of Eden,” descending down into the crater is always a special and enjoyable experience. It’s literally like another world there, and I think my favorite thing is being able to capture unusual landscapes with wildlife in them. The crater is our best option for seeing rhinos, and we did actually see two this time, but at great distance, making it very difficult to get decent images.
Today’s pictures wind up our February 2025 safari, and I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing just a small bit of all we saw.
We are now in full swing for 2026 and still invite you to jump in and join us during February, June, or September next year. Contact us for specific information!
