Today was our last official safari, with 5 hours spent driving the Serengeti this morning, then relaxign by the neat infiniti pool this afternoon.
On safari, we saw a male lion, gorgeous, walk by our jeep and off to nap under a tree. He had a large scar on his hip, our guide tells us this is likely from a fight the male leaders in his pride would have had, and he lost and therefore has to go out on his own. He was beautiful, with a dark brown mane, indicating his older age.
We also saw more zebra (they really do travel in massive groups like on Madagascar 2 Sam!), giraffe, and 2 cheetah. The cheetah were waiting patiently for gazelles to cross by them but never attacked, our guide was quite surprised. There were also the usual baboons and gazelles that have almost become like cows to us :)
Sadly there was an air balloon accident nearby today but rest assured none of us were on board.
Off to Mwanza tomorrow for the next 3 nights and visiting OUR school and meeting our girls! We are all very excited about the next few days and I am already feeling quite emotional about it. I am certain it will be beyond our expectations.
I am sorry I haven' been able to post photos the connection to do that is'nt working - will add when we get home.
Hoping the internet works in Mwanza, if there is no post for a few days that is why. Back in Dar Es Salaam on Sunday afternoon (Tanzania time).
Good night & Asante sani (thank you very much :)
Sara & Maddy
