This will have to be quick - sorry!
Returning to Dar es Salaam was uneventful. The next few days were spent getting us to two of the most incredible places in Africa - Ngorungoru Crater and Serengeti National Park.
We spent three days between the two and WOW - we completed the big five (woo hoo!!) and saw so many animals up close and personal, it was just amazing. At one point we were about 5 m from a sleeping pride of lions - one male, six females, and a male cub. It was insane! Keep in mind - this isn't a zoo. There are no fences or other forms of protection - we were literally in their backyard, at their mercy. It. Was. Awesome.
We saw four leopards, had an elephant walk right up to our open-air Jeep and check us out, plus we saw tons of monkeys/baboons, zebras, buffalo, hippos, birds, and, a mama and two baby cheetah cubs enjoying a freshly killed impala. Crazy.
Our nights in the Serengeti were spent without any fences as well - hyenas and lions walked through our camp and apparently kept some of our fellow travellers wide awake all night. Not us!!
Tomorrow we head out on the third leg of our tour - gorillas!!! Should be amazing - will post updates when we can.
We just heard about the hurricane at dinner - hope everyone is ok!!!
