So here's part three. I left off at ngorongoro crater, yes?
We started the insanely long drive to the Serengeti. As we were arriving, we saw three male cheetahs walking in the middle of the road. Good sign.
We camped in these tents in the middle of the serengeti. Every night we could hear the hyenas barking and the lions roaring and the warthogs squealing. We saw the most AMAZING things in the serengeti. We saw TWO (count 'em) TWO leopards. They are the most beautiful animals ever. We saw this cheetah mother with four cubs, and we saw her run as she chased down and killed a baby gazelle. you can't even see her run. You just see a blurry speck and lots of dust. And cheetah cubs are so CUTE!!!
The last day at the serengeti we drove three hours to see the wildebeest migration. There are thousands of wildebeest EVERYWHERE you look. It's like a sea of wildebeest. And then we stopped ofr lunch, and when we came back, they were almost all gone.
The best part of our last safari? On the way back we stopped at this suspension bridge. And I walked across it. And there were about seven crocodiles in the lake below. So that was REALLY cool.
Oh, one more thing: we saw a horny elephant. Its thing was like, two feet long.
So, there are my adventures. I lost my retainer on the flight to London. oops.
Hope you enjoyed! I missed you guys, and I'm so glad to be home!
