This morning we were woken at 4.15am ready to be picked up at 5am. The group was split into two groups to travel to Ruaha National Park for our safari day. One group were in an enclosed jeep while the other half were in an open safari vehicle – dark, windy and cold. We arrived at 7am and began our safari.  First of all we stopped at a river and saw  hippos and crocodiles basking in the water.  Once we began driving through the safari tracks we saw loads of impalas. We also saw elephants, giraffes, lions and zebras which we were all excited about! We then came across animal kill… a giraffe had been killed by lions. The lions were lying down around the giraffe aswell as vultures in the trees above. It seemed as if they were all waiting for us to leave. At around 12.30pm we stopped for some lunch.  We had bananas and bread sat on benches overlooking the stunning National Park with elephants in the distance. It was a nice break but we were all relieved to get back onto the safari vehicles for the breeze to cool us down.  We spent another few hours driving around the National Park seeing the animals. It was a great day and it was soon time to head back to Masumbo campsite. We arrived back at around 7pm and it was pitch black.  Thankfully we didnt have to cook though and we had a lovely buffet.  The staff also made us a chocolate banana cake which was a lovely sweet treat.  The owners of the campsite had their own coffee plantations so some of us tasted some coffee and even bought some. We all went to bed shortly after to be up early again.
