Seronera Wildlife Lodge Serengeti National Park

... the animals out. Then the landscape turned into long golden grass, without any break in the view as far as you could see in both directions. We didn’t see any animals and by now it was almost time for lunch. We stopped for a bathroom break at a little welcome lodge and climbed up a path for a view of the area, it was beautiful. As we looked down on the view we noticed lizards on the rocks sunning ...

... Visited a few Kopje (Small stony hills in the flat land of the Savannah hoping to see lions, but that too was a disaster. Nothing!!! It turned out to be a bad day for game viewing. The afternoon game drive seemed better as we visited the hippo pool( it stinks!!! A warning to all those with sensitive noses). We saw a couple of crocodiles as well. After that we spotted a herd of impala and followed them a bit ...

Sophie entertained us for a while with the 'No means No' and 'Preamble to the US Constitution' songs. Once we realised that those songs were terrible, we began to crank into the Disney, particularly the ...

We spent five days on safari after the climb. The safari is best explained by looking at pictures, so I won't spend several entries describing each day. We visited two major areas: Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. The Serengeti plain is amazing. There are a few other mountains around Kili that form the Great Rift Valley. After you pass by these mountains, the topography drops into the Serengeti, and it's flat for hundreds of ...

Whilst working in Arusha I took a few days holiday to go to the Serengeti and Ncogorogro crater. I had to work on the Friday so I could not leave until Friday night to join up with the tour group who had already left and were doing lake Manyara. I was picked up at 3 from my lodge where I was staying and taken to the Arusha bus station and was put on the bus to Manyara which was suppose to leave at 3:30 but of course did not leave until 5 because we had to wait for it to load up ...
