May 22nd

Another day in the Serengeti has gone by. We are continuing to enjoy ourselves and are learning a lot about the animals. We saw a lot of the same birds and animals today, but they more shy because not as many vehicles visit the western edge of the Serengeti. We saw a pride of lions sitting in a tree for shade. We also spent some time along the Grumeti River and saw a lot of hippos and nile crocodiles. They are both very large and powerful animals.

Last night a lot of us heard animals during the night. The insects are very loud, as well as the birds. There were some monkeys traveling through the trees, and a few of us heard hyenas and a lion roar off in the distance. It was a little scary but we are safe because the Masai men patrol the area. The view from our dining area never ceases to amaze us all. This place is a very cool place to stay on safari.

This afternoon we didn't have anything scheduled so we took the time to rest and relax. We are feeling refreshed for our long drive back to Ngorongoro Crater tomorrow. Please keep us and our drivers in your thoughts and prayers.
Hakuna Matata!
