Sara and Gav's Worldwide Tour!

Friday, April 06, 2007

How cool is this little dude!! he loved my sunglasses and kept asking me to take pictures of him! he was one of the kids from village we walked around. A load of the adults and kids did a traditional dance for us too, that was pretty funny especially when they started getting people from the tour to join in!

we also went to a school which was built by english volunteers, and a doctors clinic, both were really well maintained stocked up. on the way we saw this lady carrying roofing material on her head - this is proof that women literally do all the work!!












From the snake park we went to the Serengetti and Ngorongoro National parks and the few days we spent there were incredible! we saw so much wildlife, in fact on the way to the park as we admired the view over Lake Manyera we noticed 3 elephants right on the side of the road in front of us! they really are everywhere! to get to Serengetti we had to drive through Ngorongoro Crater which is great because we saw loads of animals along the way, from giraffes, zebras - we saw zebras crossing!!; a leopard (which we thought and told everyone was a cheetah at first but sadly not), hyenas, vultures, hippos, it was really great - but it was all about to get better. As we entered the Serengetti, something up ahead wasn't quite right, there were literally millions of animals. we witnessed the first day of the wilderbeast and zebra migration north to Masai Mara Park! you can not imagine seeing this number of animals, as far as we could see beyond the horizon the animals were there, walking, eating, laying down, young feeding, it was incredible. The photo of Gav and I is from a view point and all the darkness in the background is the animal migration, it really was crazy, but the most crazy thing is the fact that the migration doesn't usually begin until May! they were 2 months early - we were SO lucky!
