The last two days, free of all this stress, were two of the best days ever on our travels…
Back across the plains, then up into the highlands and the volcanos of the Eastern Rift Valley, past the Maasai and their herds of goat and cow, up to the rim of the Ngorongoro crater. As we head past hundreds of schoolchildren on their way home, a leopard leaps out of the undergrowth by the side of the road, stands, staring at us for a second, then slopes off into the forest.

The campsite sits on the rim giving us stunning views, we’re woken at night by howling cats and someone having a scrap with a warthog in a tent below us.
