Default Ngoro-ngoro one of the worst

Hi, just comming from Tanzania and visiting Seregeti and Ngoro-ngoro
crater... one of the worst game parks I've ever seen. Nothing to see.
Expected top Africa's park, but... only couple of old elephants, some
zebras anb wildbest... but nothing more. Does anyone knows what's
happening there? :-?

Keep in touch

Unlike all other game parks, the Ngoro-Ngoro animals have
not been trained to stand alongside the road and pose for
your viewing pleasure.

Jona,

Have you been to Ngorongoro? It's a 17km diameter crater with animals
in it. How can they get away from the thousands of gawking visitors
that pass through each day? Game viewing there is like shooting fish
in a barrel.

If you don't see the big five in one day, you're either not looking,
or you're driving like a hooligan and scaring them away.

You can't honestly believe that animals in Ngorongoro are "wild", and
un-used to people. and that animals at other parks are are tame.

Marc.

Albert, Albert,

My apologies if my sarcastic attempt at some humour went
way above your head. I assure you, I most certainly *did*
understand the question and merely tried to inform you that
in all probability, all you had was a "bad hair day" in game
park terms.

It was not my intention to offend you.
Cheers
Jona

Guys,

If you think that the animals are not wild, go back there and get out of
your car!! Please post the date on this news group so I can come watch.

You talk as if you were some authority on animals, maybe if less of you
came to Africa we would not have the problem of animals as you say "posing"
for you.

Please let me know when you are planing on testing....

Many peoiple have died trying to protect the wildlife in those parks,
Ngorongoro is one of those that most have died. If you dont like it then
DONT GO, no one asked you to come to Tanzania.... Stay away and you will be
making it a better place.

I am sure this will be a trip to remember. The Serengeti and Masai Mara are
fabulous! And the Crater is something very special. Nevertheless some
comments made here.

Enjoy!

Bushregards,
Corné.
