After the crater safari we drove to the Serengeti, which means ‘Endless Plains’ – and for a good reason. Everywhere you looked it seemed to go on forever, and most of it was very dry (it’s summer time here). Unfortunately we didn’t see much at all but were lucky enough to see a leopard in a tree! We watched as it came down halfway, posed for us, then climb down and disappear in to the bush.
We also came across some warthogs (pumba!). They are the funniest creatures I have ever seen, and for those of you who have seen the Lion King – they are exactly like how they are in the movie.
Before that day I could never understand what was so special about going on safari, but after seeing the animals up close I can appreciate their beauty.
We stayed at the Serengeti Serena hotel – another outstanding hotel which had individual huts as rooms. The next day was a long drive back to Arusha where we stayed the night at the Impala hotel before heading back to Nairobi the next day.
Something funny the Tanzanian driver told us (I imagine most of you born in East Africa will have a good laugh):
“Swahili was born in Zanzibar, matured in Tanzania, died in Kenya, and was buried in Uganda”
