Safari Day Six: Drive to Serengeti National Park



We are out at the Oldupai Gorge. This is where they believe humanity began. They had so many skulls of animals that they found there that are long extinct. The Leakys are the first people to search this site. The bathrooms here were the most interesting I have ever used. It was a hole with two small platforms to squat on. Serengeti is the Massai word for endless plan, and that is exactly what it is.
We saw our first leopard today. They look so much like cheetahs. It is so dusty here. Whenever we drive by another car, our vision gets swallowed by a giant cloud of tan. Being here has made me very sad what it has done to the Massai people. They push their products onto you and do not accept no for an answer. They paint their faces so you will take a picture with them and give them money.
We just arrived at Dunia Camp. We found out we will be showering with the bucket shower! All of these camps really strive to be eco-friendly.
