On the way to Serengeti we stopped to get some red bananas from a local because red bananas are famous in Arusha. We pulled over to the side of the road and 5 ladies ran over to the car, all selling a different type of banana! The red bananas were good but they kind of made my tongue numb, haha! We also saw a lion in a tree on the way to our game drive, which is actually pretty rare so we were lucky to see it. Then we drove through a little town and stopped at a drop hole bathroom where we had to pay 200 tsh to use it and it was flooding and I got hopefully what was water all over my feet! Jenny let me use one of her wet wipes so I was ok…this is one thing I won’t forget to pack when I come back to Africa! We later saw zebras, elephants, donkeys, baboons, buffalo, impala, and ostriches. We also had our second flat tire in Serengeti, haha. Normally on a safari you have two guides, one as the cook and one as the driver, but we had three because one guy was training to become a guide so that was good for helping fix tires and all the other bad luck we had coming our way!! Our guides names were Richard (trainee), Said (cook), and Hassan (driver). Jenny couldn’t say Hassan’s name right if her life depended on it, haha! Soon after we changed the tire it started to pour and we got drenched because our roof wouldn’t shut properly because some of our luggage was in the way and we couldn’t fix it because it was on top of the roof tied up really good! It makes for an unforgettable adventure though! That night we set up camp and had a delicious supper. It was kind of cold that night but nothing compared to what it would be tomorrow night at the Crater!
