Day 1, 27 June Lake Manyara National Park
Finally here!
No big cats yet, but there are so many beautiful flocks of birds on the lake!
Flamingos are my favourites.
Their feathers, legs and face have different shades of pink.
Some are lighter, some darker.
It’s because of the food they eat: algae, insects and shrimps.
I guess it’s true what they say: you are what you eat.
Day 2, 28 June Serengeti NP
There they are!
My first pride of lions in the wild!
There are cubs of all sizes!
They are playing, but Dad says this is actually learning.
They learn how to become good hunters when they grow up.
Grown-ups sleep up to 20 hours a day.
I can understand that – it’s so hot here.
Oh, a male lion is coming!
Listen to that roar…
That’s amazing!
Day 3, 29 June Serengeti NP
And we are up in the air!
The view is impressive!
There are over a million animals on the move.
Wildebeests, gazelles, buffaloes…
They are looking for fresh grass in the dry season.
I just hope crocodiles won’t get them when they cross the river.
I can even see some herds of zebras!
It’s interesting how each zebra has unique stripes.
Just like our fingerprints.
Day 4, 30 June Serengeti NP
I don’t understand why a lot of people say hyenas are ugly.
I think they are handsome!
This pack is just eating.
They are good hunters.
And their jaws are very strong – they can crush bones!
There’s a leopard sitting in the tree.
It’s not easy to see it.
Maybe because of its spots…
Day 5, 1 July Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater
Standing on the volcano crater today!
Happy it’s not active…
I can see a black rhino!
There are lots of myths about their horns, and that’s why some people hunt them.
They are really endangered.
But rhino horns are just like our hair – no magic about them!
We’re visiting a Maasai village today.
I look forward to seeing how these proud warriors live in harmony with Serengeti…
In their language, ‘Serengeti‘ means ‘Endless Plains’.
Day 6, 2 July Tarangire NP
I’m sad that we have to go home.
But I have a few photos of baobab and acacia for my sister.
She wants to become a botanist.
Elephants like to eat them, because they have a lot of water.
And they can be really old – thousands of years.
Most of the time they don’t have leaves.
Acacia has long thorns, but that doesn’t stop animals from eating it.
Nature always finds a way…
