Lion safari!

Hello! Today has been a great day! We woke up very early, got ourselves dressed and ate some breakfast before we went to see our guide for the lion safari. Our guide was a quite fat lady with her face full of wrinkles. She was black in her skin. You could see it on her that she’s been through a tough life. She was very kind and happy, and so positive about the safari we were going on.

We were in a group with six others. And our guide, Nancy also had a helper with her. We drove to the Savannah in jeeps, the guide and her helper had also brought weapons. It was not so reassuring.

It took us about two hours to reach the savannah, the weather was so hot and the air was so dry. In the start we actually thought the whole thing was boring, we were just hiding our self in a bush waiting for the lions to come. We were waiting for an hour or something before we finally saw a lion. And it was just not one lion, it was seven! A whole herd of lions was coming straight at us, I actually become afraid for a moment, but the lions were not noticed us. 

Of course Stian had brought he’s camera, so we got some fantastic pictures. It was amazing to be so close to the lions, to see them hunt and just watch them relax in the shadow of a tree. The whole expedition took us ten hours, and then we finally return to our hotel room, we was so tired and exhausted that we just fall asleep and slept for twelve hours.           
  




Hope you have a nice day!
