To the Serengeti

We are off to the Serengeti for the next four days. We're leaving some stuff at the farm house due to the fact that we will be out in the middle of nowhere... As nowhere as I have ever been. I can't wait.  Along the way we will make some stops and see a tease of the Ngorongoro Crater which we will see later in our trip. The scale of this place is unreal.

For lunch, we stopped in the middle of the plains under an enormous Acacia tree where some locals were having a nap.

After lunch we visited the Oldupai Gorge where Louis and Mary Leaky discovered many fossils which led to their theory that homo habilis was an early ancestor of human kind.

Before getting to the Serengeti we made a stop at a park which allows us to actually drive of the roads to see animals, which allowed us to see our first big cat. We were not alone...

This was a cheetah who had clearly just eaten a large meal.
