Day 6
Hands down the highlight of my trip so far. Today we visited a local Red Clay Masai village and got a glimpse into daily life in the community. We dressed in traditional Masai attire, stepped inside their homes, admired their beautiful beadwork, and visited the village Kindergarten.
Big shoutout to .co.uk—the company we booked our Tanzanian adventure with. They make a monthly donation towards uniforms, school supplies, and food for the children here, which makes this experience even more meaningful. Knowing that our trip (and the souvenirs we picked up) directly supports the community just makes it all the more special.

Day 5.
Jeeping around the Serengeti National Park 🏞️... Feeling the warm African sun ☀️ on my face as I look up at the lionesses taking a rest in a tree.
It's mating season; Lions mate for 3 days, the first day they mate every 15mins, the second day every 30mins and the third day every hour... Male lions can't climb trees as they are to heavy... Perhaps with all this mating the lionesses are seeking refuge in a tree. 😅😝🇹🇿. [SWIPE ACROSS]
