Day 4 That lion’s roar you hear in movies? The real thing sounds nothing like it. It’s fascinating. Mesmerizing. Captivates you. Night game drives are one of a kind experiences. So glad we stayed at TAASA and skipped staying on Serengeti grounds. Would have missed all the fun. The sun went down and the temp dropped. Getting uniqlo jackets was the best idea ever. Don’t want to go inside. It’s so, so, so beautiful out. The sky… I’ve never seen so many stars. You can see the Milky Way with your naked eye.Mind blowing. A travel mug of hot coffee (amazing coffee, too!), roasted salted peanuts with raisins to snack on, a good company, beautiful sky, Mother Nature and the night time sounds. I could stay here forever. The guide packs the table, though. It’s game drive time. ...First thing that red light catches is a pair of glistening eyes. And then there is a silhouette. The camera barely picks up anything. This red light is a killer. But it’s safe for animals, so that’s the only choice. Damn, I wish I had the proper equipment. Can’t take my eyes off what’s in front of me. Two cheetah brothers are beautiful. Feet away. Unbelievable. Car lights catch more eyes. White reflection means herbivores. Red light turns on again. Antelopes. The entire herd of them. A little worried, but still calm. Just in front. Fascinating. Driving in the dark feels so different. As if you get to peek through the keyhole into the animal world. Adrenaline is over the roof. ...
