The crater view point Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ROTSIP: Unfortunately this cache must be archived. It is currently being handled as a Virtual Cache by the CO despite this not being permitted by the guidelines.
Please see http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=63
Which states "The word "grandfathered" means to grant a special exception. More clearly, to "grandfather" something is to allow certain situations to exist based on an older rule (this is the "grandfather clause") even though a new rule is in place now.

For example, cache types like Virtual Caches and Webcams are no longer accepted as new listings today, but those that already exist remain as grandfathered caches as long as they continue to be maintained by their owners.

How do I hide a new Virtual, Webcam or Locationless cache? I don't see these options on the form.

Geocaching.com no longer accepts new submissions of these cache types. Existing Virtual and Webcam caches are "grandfathered" and are still available for you to log. All the Locationless caches were archived and locked in January 2006. The new home for these types of caches is Waymarking.com."

Geocache Description:

(Edit Feb 20, 2012): The box is gone, but this is not a big problem. From the beginning the intention of this cache was to show you the great view of the crater. The cache is now kind of 'Interesting place cache'.

It is still possible to log it as Found. What to do for it? Go there (only as far as you are allowed to, ask your guide : ) ), enjoy the place, and attach your picture, ideally with inprinted date, of something you found interesting to the log... and e.g. few words how did you like the area... and this it.
*********************************************************************************

Cache is located not far from entry gate to the Ngorongoro cater, where is nice panoramatic view. Ask your driver to stop for a while before (as we were told, the way through the crater is one way, and you will leave it on the other side) entering the crater. Our guide stopped here for some time on the way to Serengeti NP.

Actually this is drive-in cache, only problem can be trip to Tanzania, and arranging safari/guide driver to get you to the cache location : ) Be sure Maasais living in the area are not watching you.

Exact cache location is shown on the attached pictures - this can help you to find the cache, as there is, if you were able to get to Tanzania, no point in not finding it because you have been looking under wrong stone. If you do not want hint, do not look at the pics : )

Hide it well before leaving.

NOTE: There is NO PEN in the cache, so make sure you take one with you.
