This is it. We’re on our way home this week, and my safari is over. What should I talk about next week? I have no idea.
Our final stop was Grumeti in the northwest of the country, where we took a night safari and saw a lion feed with her cubs. The first picture below is the only time on the whole safari that I was truly terrified. It all ended up okay in the end, though.
After the night safari, we woke up the next day to take a very small plane back to Arusha, but not before we had to clear the runway of zebras. This runway was so small they didn’t have a control tower. It was basically a grass field, a bathroom, and a bunch of zebras hanging out.
