It was difficult to get up this morning. We were both sooooooo relaxed! But we wanted to see the sunrise and check out the observation deck one last time to see if we can spot any interesting animals in the Serengeti.
So that’s what we did. We didn’t find anything worthy of note but it was still exciting whenever we saw something boring like the impala or a nyala through the binoculars. We’re just one of those people so easily pleased you see. Eric was even very fascinated to see a dung beetle munching on baboon poop! The chef gave me the recipe for the incredible brownies so if you’re one of the lucky few, you just might be able to try them too:)
The staff gave us a very warm departure as if one of their own family members are leaving for good.
This is "mama" Connie...she's everyone's mama in the lodge and she made us feel so at home while we stayed there.
This is Solomon holding Eric's hand while he accompanied him to the car to say good bye. They looked so sweet.We didn’t want to leave yet but we didn’t have much choice….sigh!
On the way down, Simeon was still looking for animals and eventually, he spotted 4 elephants from a distance. I didn’t see them but Eric and the rest did…so I just pretended that I did. What I did see though was a group of wildebeest (that’s Pumba from the Lion King) just before we exited the game park. They’re actually from the antelope family as well.
After Bongani, Rudolf drove us to see some beautiful landscapes of South Africa.
and so we had a late dinner at the hotel's chinese restaurant. After dinner, Eric tried his luck at the slot machine and won 200 Rand.
Tomorrow we set out for Cape Town!
