Don't Eat the Beef

---

Day 18

This was a tough morning! Well, I paid for eating the pink beef...it had briefly crossed my mind the night before, but the hotel seemed so classy, so I thought it would be okay.

After pulling myself away from the toilet, we left from Lake Manyara to Serengeti (pronounced Seringit). Serenget is beyond Ngorogoro Crater and we had to pass through the rim of the crater. The Maasai are the tribe living in this area, and they are known for their colourful garments (resembling Scottish tartan). As we journeyed along, we could see them tending their cattle or sheep alongside wild zebras and giraffe. The Maasai villages dot the landscape, and their houses are no more than round huts constructed of wood, mud and straw.

The Serengeti looks much like Saskatchewan except for the animals. There were tons of wildebeest as far as the eye could see! We had an afternoon game drive.
