Today had a slow and lazy start as we decided yesterday to make this morning a bit of a "recovery". So a latish, breakfast, for me a tour of the camp back-lot (with an inspection of the high-tech solar system and an introduction to the technology if a charcoal refrigerator), and some extended good byes to our gracious host and hostess Justin and Jacky, then it was onwards towards the park gate. Permits to enter the park are issued in units of 24 hours and we had to be through the gate by about 1:30 pm. The drive to the gate was mostly a retracing of previously covered territory but even so we were keen to make our final sightings (in this park) of giraffe, elephants, zebras and of course we kept our eyes open for more novel things. As it turned out our guides diligence was rewarded and we saw another small pride of lions, including a young male that was still dining on their recent kill. To top that we saw another leopard resting in a tree.

Once out of the park we had an opportunity to take a brief look at a local Masai market, and a number of villages on our way to the Serena Lodge on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater. With the required driving, fueling, stopping for some souvenir shopping we did not get to the lodge until 6:00 pm so the evening was a quick drink, then dinner and then bed. Tomorrow has an early start.
