Nov 8
This was the day we began the long trek to Serengeti national park. To get there we passed through Ngorogoro conservation area, and got to look down into the crater there, which was formed by a volcanic explosion years ago. Also along the way we stopped at a massai village but it was a little bit too touristy for my taste, so I may try to go to a more authentic one later on in my trip. There are many massai villages around as we make our way through the national parks, and many of the massai are in sad shape begging for food and water on the side of the road. At last we made it to Serengeti, and had lunch at the park gate, with a view of what seemed to be endless grass plains. The drive through was very different from Tarangire in the fact that the herds of animals were much more immense. We drove into the evening, with one downpour along the way, and then set up camp under open sky. The whole night there was constant lightning in the distance, but it was so far away we couldn't even hear the thunder.
We saw leopards today but I don't have any good pictures so I'm going to have to wait until I get some better ones.
