Serengeti Dreaming - Is another dusty, long, uncomfortable safari worth it?

After the mountain we spent a couple days relaxing in Moshi and Arusha, very necessary steps
considering the bronchitis diagnosis that we got from the clinic. So rest was paramount.
In the end, considering all this again in a once-in-a-lifetime context, we figured the
Serengeti was more than worth a run through. The part we missed is that with the slightly
abridged version of the route we would have a long day of travel up to Serengeti National park,
not all that deflating until you get on the roads and realize they are even worse than expected.
The tracks inside the parks were better than the roads to get there so after 8 long hours
and some obligatory feeding stops we did an afternoon game drive at the northern section of
the park. Lobo lodge here is idyllic in terms of its location, hidden amongst the rocks and
its lack of fences. So giraffes, buffalo, everything was at your doorstep which we were
used to by now...

Dusty and unruly


got settled in at the lodge for another of those pleasant sunsets in the middle of nowhere
