Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is perched on the edge of the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater at the eastern edge of the Serengeti in northern Tanzania. It lies within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which covers more than 8 000 square kilometres (3 100 square miles) of pristine African wilderness.

what goes around comes around
The most abundant large carnivore in areas where antelopes and zebra abound everywhere south of the Sahara except rain forest and true desert up to 400 meters above the sea level.
These are the mostly known as scavengers of all in Africa the Spotted Hyaenas, they mostly depend on the lions to make kill and they just scavenge but in the Crater is the other way around more than 50% of what they eat they kill by themselves and many times it has been recorded the lions they do scavenge from the Hyaenas!!! But this is something else and we don’t know what had happened before we got there
There was a lovely pair of Lappet faced Vulture, accompanied with several Marabou storks and allots of White backed vultures just after the pair of Lappet faced vultures finished their tusk of opening the carcass they moved aside and left the Marabou stork on standing by next to the White backed vulture to tear up the meat and they can snap it from them
That was a dead Hyena next to the road and these vulture they were almost about to finish him. The next day I drove in the same place there was nothing left even the fur?
That one is still a puzzle because we don’t know what had happened to that hyena maybe he got into others territory and got killed but most amazing part it was a scavenger got scavenged by other scavengers and that comes to that say “what goes around comes around”
