A little late but still useful information
The feeling of being cooped up in a large car for 10 hours a day watching some of the largest and most prehistoric creatures has its ups and downs on many levels. Over all it was fantastic! What we saw on day one was well worth our money. We traveled with 2 medical students from teule and their friend who was also doing an elective but in malawi. One day one we drove from arusha to the Serengeti and out the other end where we stopped at Ikoma Safari camp run by pepe (an old bracelona businessmen man who just steeped out). By the end of out 5 day safari we saw 4-5 big five (elephant, lion, water buffalo and rihno), 4-5 small five (ant lion, leopard tortoise, buffalo weaver, and rihno bettle) plus tons of other things. Dad who doesn't call him self a birder racked in over 100 species of birds with a great deal of help form our knowledgeable driver Lawerence. He was a nice guy, spoke good english but got a little edgy when we would ask about a common bird name. All he would was "come on I have told you 100 times" which as you could guess got on our nerves as well. Our safari inculed 5 days, 3 parks, 3 catan games and a whole lot of bear and soda.
Muheza was god when we left. All regulars sad to see is leave especially sylis (bike fundi) and jafari (grocer). Our last day consisted of many a bike fundi trips (he is adding a new extension on to his shop which we are calling the marsh-norgrove extension for all the money our bikes have brought in to him), packing which was a brutal task, goodbyes (very sad), and a final pizza dinner with Ally, Sefu, Kevy, Maxee, and Zacka, which ended badly as ally neglected to tell his mom and got a few slaps!!! The next morning was final packing, more sad goodbyes are our final drive though and out Muheza with tears in our eyes. Good Bye Muheza We Will Be Back Soon!
