We have seen the Great Migration! Right across the Mara River from us are thousands of wildabeests walking together in a giant herd. They are in search of green grass and plentiful water. Sayari Camp is ridiculously nice. They bring you coffee in a french press as your wake up call. They say when they were building the infiniti pool the hippos kept coming in it at night so they had to put big logs around that so the hippos with their short legs could not step over. We're waiting to see a river crossing. The wildabeests are very picky about where to cross and rightfully so because if they choose wrong, they will get eaten for lunch by crocodiles! There is so many that they line the entire banks of the Mara River.
New Words!
Tafazzali=please
Nolio=yes
Well, no river crossing today. But we did see where they had crossed while we were at lunch! There were thousands! They were everywhere. It looked just like when Simba had regained control of the land in Lion King. Zebras, giraffes, wildabeests! We had a spectacular sunset. Really red, pink, orange and yellow. Every jeep got back as the sun was setting today because everyone wanted to see the migration! They are doing controlled burns for the dry grass and it has my allergies out of control! My whole head feels like a balloon. We got to hang out by the pool today. It was such a treat because the sun was so hot. Today's weather was just how I imagined Africa would be. The flames from the fire are so close now that we can see them from our tent.
