Dream Destination-- African Safari, Victoria Falls

Perhaps it's inevitable that anyone who has watched "The Lion King" or visited a zoo will dream of one day going on an African safari. I have recently come across one of the most visited spots for such a journey--Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania.


Many people may never have heard of Ngorongoro Crater. I had not until recently and consider myself an avid travel enthusiast. But Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most visited natural wonders of our world every year. Visitors see open fields of lions, cheetahs, zebras, flamingos, rhinos, wildebeast, elephants, giraffes, and thousands of other animals in their natural habitat. What a relaxing world where the idea of a traffic jam is this:

If I ever make it to Africa, also on my list of places to see is Victoria Falls on the nearby border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
