Safari Day Seven: Drive to North Serengeti

We woke up to a magnificient sunrise coming over the moutnain. The colors were so vibrant and were shining through the trees. Dunia camp was incredible. Everyone was so attentive. They brought coffee right to our tent as the sun was rising. They even brought hot water to use for our sink. Breakfast was delicious! They had yummy muffins, and they cooked your eggs just how you wanted them. We are driving to Sayari Camp today. We saw zebras resting their heads on one another. We are having lunch where there is a lot of tsete flies. They bite and itch a lot. We went to a big hippo pond today. There were at least a hundred of them! We just passed and saw six female lions with a zebra carcass. They gorge themselves and lay on their backs with their huge paws in the air. I was surprised by how close the rest of the zebra herd was still hanging around. I guess they know once the lions have one, the rest are safe for the time being. The lions have dragged the carcass to teh one piece of shade under a tree.
We have developed such a routine for the jeep. Dad in front, Ammy front right, Mom middle, Andrew right middle and Fuzz and I hold up the back. In the middle, they're in charge of lunch boxes and opening bottles. Fuzz and I are on cooler duty! But you cannot drink too much because you never know how far until the next restroom. You're only other choice is to "check the tire pressure"!
Sayaria Camp is incredible. Is is the nicest place I have ever stayed. After dinner, we ar escorted back to our tents by warriors from local villages. They carry bows and arrows.
New Words
Sayaria=planet
Dunia=world
Poa=cool
