Serengeti Day 2

Another amazing day in the Serengeti. We went out for an all day game drive today since this was the last day for our group. Now the first thing we didn't expect to see was a baboon eating a dik-dik. It's not the most appetizing thing to see first thing in the morning. 

Today was a day for lions. We couldn't imagine how many lions we saw in trees. Supposedly you only see tree climbing lions in Lake Manyara. But we saw 11 lions in trees. In fact we even saw 6 in the same tree. Of course we thought this was the best thing we saw. 

But the lion I have shown you above jumped out of a tree and we decided to drive ahead to wait out this lion. When we parked we saw maybe 3 lions in the grass. When the lion above moved near us, all of a sudden about 20 or so lions appeared out of the grass. It was amazing how they popped up out of the grass when we didn't see any of them. That made our day. 

Our great lunch spot of the day was at a hippo pool. Probably not the best place to eat lunch while you are hearing disgusting sounds but it was a great place to see hippos. 

So today ends another beautiful day in the Serengeti. It's our last dinner with everyone. Tomorrow Rhonda and I leave with Justin for our drive north while everyone flies back to Arusha. Good night!
