The lone elephant
Tree cat
So. Many. Animals.
I’m too exhausted to type anything witty, so I’ll just give the run down of the day. We woke up early, flew out from Arusha to the Serengeti on a small plane. We got off the plane around 10 AM and got in the jeep and went out immediately. We saw gazelle, impalas, storks, buffalo, lions, giraffes, guinea fowl, hyraxes, dik diks, baboons, elephants , hippos and monkeys.
The lions that we saw were all sleeping in one tree, there must have been about 12. And at one point, one of them came down from the tree and walked right up to the jeep. We also saw a lone elephant and got within 20 or so feet of him. Slightly scary because lone elephants are agressive and have been known to attack.
We picnicked lunch and then went right back out again. We stayed out until about 6. I’m so exhausted.
