Day 16 Serengeti - Lobo Hill

Decided to have a last attempt to get a good view of a wildebeest crossing before the long journey back to Lobo.  Headed north along the river the opposite way to yesterday and miraculously soon came across a large group  building on the opposite bank.  This time we were determined to get the etiquette right – we sat at the top of the slope behind another van and waited, and waited, and waited!  We are not cut out for this sport, we both got really bored! But suddenly we were off, a wildebeest made a move and the engines started, we waited for a few more then everyone reved their engines and were off down the hill.  This time we got a great view and some fab photos (well I did – Ian is spitting feathers as his camera wouldn’t focus).

Headed back to Lobo – pretty uneventful journey but did meet the guys from a couple of days ago again and are glad to report that they found Lucas!  Still no idea what they were doing in the middle of nowhere, this time they had a bible and spear rather than mobile phones – really odd.  Back at Lobo we agreed with the ranger we could camp at Lobo Hills special campsite for the night (we had already been to check it was empty this time).  Really beautiful site overlooking the hills of Lobo with antelope and zebra walking through.  Finally could face more than plain potatoes or pasta so cooked a butternut squash curry – probably not the wisest choice but it was really tasty.
