Hans-Georg,

Thanks, I was going to do that in January, but the morning
we planned to go there, we spent far too long with 2 groups of
cheetahs with cubs and ran out of time. So it is definitely
on my list for next time.

Have you done other hikes in this region?

Roger,

sorry, no.

By the way, the background image on my computer screen is a
photographic map of the area, created by artificially coloring
data gathered by the Space Shuttle radar mapping mission. So
while I write this, I see Ngorongoro Crater in the lower right
and Olduvai Gorge disappearing under my newsreader window. (

A JPEG version of it in 4 : 3 format (1,600 x 1,200) can be
found at
http://michna.com/download/olduvai_gorge_shaded_relief_colored_height_...pped43.

If your computer monitor has an aspect ratio other than 4 : 3,
like the currently popular 1,280 x 1,024 (5 : 4), then don't use
this image. Instead go directly to the source (NASA) and do some
cropping and compressing. The full-resolution image is quite
large though.
