9/2. Serengeti National Park We will look for wildlife in the savanna with bothAM and PM game drives. Animals spotted may include lions, zebras, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, buffaloes, jackals, gazelles and giraffes. Enjoy the sunset from the lodge and have Pan-African food for dinner.
We left Ngorongoro and headed to the airport in Arusha. Our large suitcases will be waiting for us when we return. We packed a duffle bag and a carry on and headed to the Serengeti. On our drive to the Four Seasons lodge we saw a black rhino and a leopard. This completes our quest to see the ‘big five”. (Sadly, none of these photos have uploaded from the phone to the iPad.)
The hotel is lovely and animals roam in front of our rooms. At 4:15, nine of the twenty-four of us went on a game drive. We spent time watching lions and saw a few other animals.
Sunset in the Serengeti on 9/2/2023.
Some of the lions we saw yesterday afternoon. Most of my pictures of the lions have not uploaded.
This group of lions must have had a run-in with a porcupine. Notice the two quills in the chest of this lion near the right front leg.
The lion in the middle has a quill in the lip. Painful!
Phone and iPad not syncing. Hopefully, tomorrow. Limited syncing on 9/3.
Zebras in front of my hotel.
In my room, I could watch channel 1 and see what animals were at the watering hole which was next to the guests’ pool.
There was a raised walkway in the resort so that wild animals could not easily attack the guests. I was in the last building at the end of this walkway. There were maybe four rooms that had to go further than I did.
On our way from the airport to our hotel, we joined a crowd of jeeps to see this jaguar in a tree.
More animals in front of my hotel room, topi and zebra.
