The Serengeti

After spending a night on the rim of the crater, we headed out. We drove around the serengeti. We stopped at Olduvai Gorge and at the shifting sands. The gorge was a site where some hominid remains had been found. Shifting sands is a mound of sand that moves a little bit every year. We found a mummified frog, and several dead dung beetles in the sand. The whole area was a little creepy. That afternoon we arrived at our campsite on the outside of the serengeti. We stayed at that campsite for a few days. It was very windy there. My tent was blown down, and others were damaged in the wind. One of the days, we walked to a hippo pool. The pool smelled terrible because of hippo defecation and the lack of moving water. We had our test in bio the final full day we were there. It wasn't too difficult. On monday morning we moved to the campsite near where we would be doing our Maasai homestay.
