Africa update #2 - safari

This is safari update #2. We have spent the last 3 days in Serengeti National Park. We have seen giraffe, impala, hippos, buffalo, topi, wildebeest... and even 2 leopards. The leopards were resting in trees; there were about 8 safari vehicles stopped and watching them. I got some of it on video footage. Two nights ago, we stayed at Ikoma Bush Camp and did a night game drive; just saw some small animals, but it was still a very cool experience. Yesterday, we were in Western Serengeti and stayed at Kirawira luxury tented camp, a throwback to the old English hunter days. Today, we're in the middle of the park, staying at a Serena lodge. Later this afternoon, we'll be going on a game drive to the hippo pool. Hopefully, we'll be able to see some cheetah, if not here then maybe in the next couple of days at Ngorongoro Crater. That's all for now. We're doing great and have lots of fun.
