Day 2 of the Safari


We started day 2 of our safari at 7.00 am this morning.

It is a beautiful day and everyone was excited about seeing more wild animals up close and personal. On our way Richard our guide organized for us to visit a Masai Village. They did a traditional welcome dance, took us in and showed us around their mud and cow paddy houses.

The Masai chief has 30 wives and over 100 children - can you believe that! We then purchased a couple of things and a few of us joined in another one of their traditional dances with them - wait until you see those photos!!

We then headed off to Ngorogoro National Park. There was so many animals and they were everywhere. We saw rhinos, hippos, lions, flamingoes, water buffaloes, cheetahs, wilderbeast, etc. The hippos were my favourites, especially when they yawned and you saw all their teeth. We had a lovely lunch (thankfully there were no crazy babboons today).

We spent the rest of our day trying to track down a leopard but unfortunately we had no luck - maybe tomorrow.

We are now back at the lodge resting and waiting for our dinner. Another great day has been had by all.

Talk to you all tomorrow.
PS I love you Ben and Ethan and miss you heaps.

Hugs,

Donna
