On Sunday I returned from my 3 day/2 night safari. :( It was so amazing...I am not a big animal person, but I decided to go anyways since pretty much my entire house was going. Friday we left bright and early for the Serengeti which tok about 6 hours because we made a lot of stops. The second you enter the park you see literally hundreds if not thousands of zebras, gazelles, buffalo, etc. It is the best time to take a safari since the animals are in Tanzania for their migration period. So long story short we saw about a dozen lions, and even more elephants and giraffes the first day. We stayed in tents both nights the first night in the serengeti and the second onto of Ngorongoro crater. I think that the serengeti has NOTHING on Ngorongoro crater. THe third day we spent in the crater which was amazing. I was surrounded by completely green mountains and then there is a forest area where we saw a ton of baboons and monkeys (which is a whole different story, but they got in our land cruiser!!). Then a flat area where we were 5 ft from the big daddy lion, it was the best he was glaring at us then he roared so we got the hell out of there! There were about 8 of them some where still chewing on a buffalo they got that morning. We also saw a leapord and so many more (but not as cool animals). The first night of camping we woke up to buffalo hoofs, it was being chased by a lion! The second night my friend woke me up because 3 elephants were about 10 ft from our tent! It was an awesome time, now for the shitty part...today I acidentally erased all my pics from my camera. Thankfully I had 4 other girls with me that took the same pics, but that means no Amsterdam pics. Im really bummed but oh well nothing I can do about it now. Hakuna Matata! Going to a village this weekend to get out of the city again...
