Even hours before getting into the car, I knew that the safari was going to be one of the BEST experiences of my life. As the jeep rumbled through the endless plains of the Serengeti and the rim of the Ngorongoro crater (the bumpy road doing nothing to ease a jumpy bladder), the car was constantly filled with dropping jaws and animalistic “woots” (and occasionally, a flying person who couldn’t take the bumps).
The view of the savannah in the Serengeti was magnificent and literally making your heart stop – countless shades of browns intermingled with gold specks and flicks of yellow grass (looking like finely-painted fingers reaching through the ground), layers and layers of colour piling up until it formed a never-ending horizon, which was then interrupted by grey mountains.
