First Serengeti Day

We left the Ngrongoro Crater this morning and headed towards the Serengeti, seeing some spectacular animals en route. Highlights definitely included a pride of 13 lions including 5 adorable cubs. Maddy thought they looked alot like our Luke at home :) One little guy found our tire interesting and came over to lick it - they really do get that close and are not bothered at all by humans and jeeps.

We also saw some elephants up close again, they would often wander on the roads we traveled on. Zebras by the hundreds were also spotted as well as thousands of flamingos which was an amazing sight!

Tonight we are staying at the Serena Serengeti Lodge, it is just spectacular. They escort you to your room as there is no fence and animals have been known to wander by. But no one has been approached so no need to worry Grandma!!!

Our room looks out over the savanna, we got here late though so we will enjoy the view tomorrow. Here for another night then off to Mwanza to meet our girls and their school and residence under construction. Very much looking forward to that!

Good night :)
