Tanzania Safari, Baboons

A tribe of baboons were seen in Ngorogoro spread over the savannah.  They were near some fruit trees that most likely served their food needs.  Along the road outside the conservation areas we saw a tribe of baboons nicely located near the road edge waiting for handouts.  There was also a tribe resident at the entrance gate to the Ngorogoro Conservation area.  Here they have a habit of entering the safari vehicle through open widows to check out any available food.  We watched as a mother with her young riding on her back enter a vehicle and emerge with a banana and box of crackers.  The banana was gone immediately (no peeling) and the crackers were consumed up in a tree.  We watched the cracker packaging material float down from above.
