Ahh the Serengeti - in Masai it means "endless plains." We saw a dikdik!!! We love those little guys - but then who doesn't love something that could easily be confused with a 12" tall gazel? What other wonders could be found on those plains, you ask? Let us just list them for you: a lionness, and then another lionness and another with her babies, and the daddy lion looking fat and lazy, then two teen boy lions walking right down the middle of the "road," 200,000 zebra migrating with their "wildebeest" or "wilderbeest" buddies, tall giraffes and their babies, monkies, baboons (their bums aren't as red as Casey thought they would be), hip-hiphop-hiphopapotomus (lots of them and they run FAST!!!), buffalo, elephants (and a special couple who decided to consumate their love for eachother about 50 feet from our car... ummm... WOW), all sorts of gazel and impala along with other splendors that are just too many to mention here. :) Over all the safari was a bit of an adventure... rather rough and tumble adventure. In an effort to get back in touch with our "wild" camping side we decided to save money and not hire a cook (as is common protocol with these types of African adventures)and we decided to eat top ramen, canned beans and veggies along with pb and nutella sammies...maybe an occasional sucker and candybar... yes we were eating from a gas station... obviously, not the healthiest choice but T-I-A. In total we spent 2 days in Serengeti and one in the famous crater, Ngorongoro. AMAZING! OHh we also saw what is commonly believed to be the oldest human footprints - cool, huh?!?
