Abbott Family Travels

On day 5 of our tour we departed Ngorongoro Crater for the Serengeti. Serengeti means endless plain and the description was perfect for this change in environment! On our first game drive we saw lions, zebra, giraffes, and a gorgeous red sunset. Most importantly we found Rick's number 1 reptile: the Nile Monitor lizard! These are just a few pictures I got on my phone, I will update later with Richard's pictures with the telephoto lens! I cannot wait to see what tomorrow will hold!

Yesterday we arrived at Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was one of our most anticipated parks, it has been a dream of Richard's to come here since he was four years old! Since we still had some light left in the day we went onto our balcony to see if we could spot some animals with our binoculars and telephoto lens. We had some great luck! From our room we got pictures of: -Elephants -Black Rhinoceros -Speckled Mousebird The next day we had a full day of safari in the crater. We had a fantastic day with quite a bit of wildlife sightings!
