Serengeti Day 5

Well we were glad finally say goodbye to Migration Camp. Unfortunately this place ended not as nice as some of the other camps we stayed at. The biggest problem I had is that the hyrax at the camp walked on our tent and kept slamming into the walls all night long.  It's hard to get any sleep with all the noise. I'm used to noise at camps but this was out of the ordinary. So goodbye Migration Camp. 

Would you believe the migration was right outside our camp when we left. It's amazing that last evening that there were no animals on the 18km road to our camp.  Then this morning all we saw was wildebeest and some zebras for the next 18 km.  just incredible!

The landscape changed again as we drove north. We mostly ran into more grasslands. The scenery was just incredible. What is even more amazing is that we saw most of the animals today that we saw over the last 12 days or so. 

Ok I'm happy to say that we are still seeing elephants.  We saw at least 3 families on the way today including this beautiful calf trying to imitate its mom drinking water. 

This is why it is so hard to get photos of some of these animals. Below was a leopard we found. It was really difficult even getting this picture. 

Even more incredible is a pair of lions we found. This was a beautiful male we found sleeping off a meal he just had. Just incredible. 

So we had an incredible drive up. We even saw a new animal, a black mambo. But that is where it started to not go so well.  At some point Rhonda realized we were going south and not north. Our driver was lost. He hadn't been this way in more then 2 years. We finally got him to ask for directions. My guess is we were driving around lost for more then two hours.  We were really spoiled with our first driver who seemed to know where he was going and was the owner of the vehicle. We were promised that Justin would know where we were going. It's just a shame that he didn't check on his directions before driving us.  One thing though I will say is there didn't seem to be signs so I know I had no clue where we needed to go.  So it just goes to show you that you really have to careful that your driver knows where he is going especially to such a remote location.  

But I will say that we made it to Sayari which is suppose to be one of the best camps in Tanzania. I already like what I see. So Rhonda and I should be able to rest here for a few days before we start our flights home.
