We are finally in Zanzibar!!!!! It is simply magnificent! Our room is directly on the Indian Ocean! So...it has been a few days... We have just had an incredible time in the Serengeti!!!!! We stayed a lovely tented camp. Each tent had a toilet and a bucket shower!!! Believe it or not....they would fill the bucket whenever you wanted a shower! Each day we went on game drives. The first day we saw the beginning of the zebra and wildebeest migration! So many animals you could never possible imagine!!!! Our guide told us that approx. 3 million zebra and wildebeest migrate each year. I'll try to attach a video I took...but I don't know if it will work. We also saw elephants, lions, ostrich, a viper, topi, warthogs, impala, gazelle, hyena, vultures.... It is absolutely surreal! Listening to the animals while you fall asleep is wild!!!! Each evening at sunset we would have cocktails and dinner by a campfire! So many stars! And..."isaw the southern cross for the first time!" Now we are back in civilization in Zanzibar. Tomorrow we go to prison island and then Monday to Stone Town. It is nice to be back to flush toilets and a shower that doesn't end...but the experience of safari was worth every minute!!!!!!! I'll try to keep in touch...be home on Friday!
