Safari in the Serengeti!

I love animals....I truly LOVE animals. Well, Grandad has arrived in East Africa to visit us for a few weeks. It's my first time to meet him in person, though I've seen lots of him on skype. We had to leave Shei Shei at home as she would not like to be in a car all day for 4 days just looking at animals. I LOVED it though.

The First day we drove from our house to Seronera in the Serengeti. This is the area of the Serengeti where there are many kopjis and lion prides that live in the area. We stayed in the Wildlife lodge there for 2 nights and spent out days driving the plains and finding animals. SO MANY ANIMALS - lions, cheetahs, elephants, leopards, hyena, giraffe, zebra, small medium and large deers.....just so many many animals. We also took an afternoon off to go swimming in the pool at the lodge and one day I thought I got to go in the pool, but they were cleaning it all day, so Mommy and Bada took me for a bathtub swim instead. That was sooo fun!

After a few day in the Serengeti, we drove to the Ngorongoro Crater and stayed there and took a tour of the crater floor. We had more fun there and I was sad to leave. Every morning on safari, I woke up and said, "animal, animal". I just wanted to go and see the animals all the time! So much fun, and a great way to meet my Grandad and fun memories for the family! I really do love my family and guess what....I think they love me too!
