More wildlife as we left Ngorongoro

There were clouds hovering over the rim on one side of the crater, whereas the other side was clear. It was a curious phenomenon watching the clouds rolling over the rim and down towards the floor of the crater, evaporating as they did so.

We stopped for lunch by a small lake, which was full of hippos. We were advised to stay in the car to eat our picnic so as not to attract the attention of scavenger birds. We did get out to buy an ice cream, though 😂.
