this is a gumma lizard, we saw quite a lot of them and they come in other colours too, but they look pretty funky don't they!

On the way back to Ngorongoro Crater we went past the migration again but it was totally different. the animals for some reason were running full out, hundreds of them crossing the road ahead of us, I dont know how the babies didn't get trampled but they did a good job of keeping up! They were going so fast, weve got a video of it, you just can't describe what we saw, for miles and miles the line of wilderbeast and zebra went on, then for no apparant reason they just stopped at the side of the road and let us all drive through and then started up again! it was mad! such an incredible thing to see.






Heres one of gav in our home for the entire time we were in africa! it was quite cosy really! was quite funny at night time because we had to watch out for the hyenas, bush pigs and wild birds!!








This is one of us standing on the rim of the Ngorongoro crater, its hard to believe that once upon a time a mountain was where the crater is now! the area is huge! no wonder it takes hours to drive around and its so hard to find the cats!! its a soda water lake so in the dry season when it dries up it looks similiar from the rim because its a layer of soda crystals
