3-day safari: serengeti and ngorongoro




beautiful adventure!
saw the big 5
2 landrovers, 1 driver and 1 cook in each car. there was a total of 9 of us girls that went in a group together.
windows down, top rolled back - the scenery was like nothing you've seen before.

the clouds were as big as mountains and the tips of the land at every valley and every mountain top.

the colors of green reminded me of ireland's vast countryside - but the trees, oh the trees. i love them! it was just like i envisioned africa to look like. breathtaking.

the animals run amongst you as if you were one of them.
we were literally feet from lions feasting on dead buffalo, zebras running across the road, wildebeast continuing along their migration. it was truly incredible.

sunsets and sunrises symbolized the continual circle of life that takes place between the valleys, the plains, the rivers and the mountains existing within the national park and the reserve. nothing we captured could encapsulate the beauty we saw.

on another note, i have some pretty funny stories to share regarding bats in bathrooms, and lions walking through campsites (i know... me, camping?!). nothing like really living in the wild :)
