Day 6 of our safari saw us down in the Ngorongoro Crater (actually Caldera). It is 30x20km across and acts as a mini ecosystem all on its own as the steep walls minimize migration in and out of the Caldera.
We saw some more beautiful birds this day, both in the crater and at our lodge in the Ngorongoro highlands, nearby.
1. Black-Chested Snake Eagle
