Well, we didn't make it on a safari last night. It starting storming and rained most of the night. So, we get breakfast to go this morning, hop in the jeep and head to the Serengeti to see the Great Migration. On the way there we make a brief stop and see two lion cubs on a mound in the grass. After a while we see the mother lion up on the ledge watching over her cubs.
It was a long jeep ride, but worth it. There were thousands and thousands of wildebeest. And plenty of zebras as well. We follow along the ridge and see hundreds of thousands of wildebeest lining up and traveling across the land. At one point our driver drives the jeep down into the middle of all the animals, so we are right in the middle of the migration. (our driver drives like Zach...)
Stopped in a remote area for a picnic lunch and then headed back to camp. We are going on an early-evening safari before dinner. Still searching for a leopard and the rhino...though the lions are enough for us.
Tomorrow morning we take a small plane (puddle jumper) to a different camp in the Serengeti, closer to the migration. We will be there for a few days. This is a semi-permanent camp that moves with the migration so we should be in the thick of things. We read that they have 'bucket' showers.....not so sure about that.
Zach and Tiff thanks for the post. Glad you two are having fun. Love you both!!
More to come
