Border crossing to Tanzania and entering the Serengeti

From yesterday (connectivity’s a little sketchy out here)

    We woke up and ate breakfast after we got our suitcases stowed in our lockers in our new van. Then we started our 10 hour day to get to our campsite in Tanzania. It didn’t take very long to get through security and a passport check to get into Tanzania and then we had lunch at a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall in Tanzania after getting baked goods at the super market. 

       Eventually we got to our campsite which was way nicer than we expected and we got assigned to our really durable tents and our comfortable sleeping mats. We set up and then we helped prepare dinner which was chicken and macaroni and cheese which was very good. Then we cleaned our dishes and got ready for bed.

       The next morning we woke up around 5, took down our tents, and moved our bags into jeeps for the next few days. It was just the 6 of us in a jeep with our tour guide and a driver and the roof of the jeep popped upward so we could look at and take pictures of animals. We drove through the Ngorongoro crater and we saw zebras, hippos, buffalo, warthogs, wildabeasts, elephants, gazelles, and rhinos. Then we drove to the Serengeti national park and we saw lots of gazelle, elephants, and giraffes. Then we got to our camp, set up our tents, and rested before dinner.
