As the others already wrote, the safari was great! We had 2 awesome days in the saadani national park, and we did two safaris. On the first trip through the national park we saw beautiful African animals although the weather was everything but beautiful. It was cloudy and sometimes raining but fortunately our drivers had raincoats for us to wear, so the little showers didnt break down our good mood. After the safari and after dinner, we lay down on the beach and saw a sky full of stars. It was amazing to see the starconstalletion of the southern hemisphere, many falling stars and even two satellites. We talked for one hour or so and afterwards we went right into bed. Though we had did so many things this day it was not later than 10.30pm when we all fall asleep. And this was good because we wanted to get up at 6am the next day to take a morning bath in the Indian ocean and enjoy the sunrise. Unfortunatley it rained all night and when we got up the clouds had not vanished. So the expected sunrise had been omitted... Nevertheless the experience was unforgettable!
After breakfast we did our second safari. We wanted to take the two safari cars to the river and see lots of hippos and crocodiles (what we actually did in the end) but it was much more difficult to arrive at the river than we thought! The car where I sat in, got stuck in the sticky, muddy ground and although we tried everything to get it out, it didnt work. In the end all of us, were muddy and exhaused so we decided to just take the second car to the river to do the safari. Meanwhile people from our lodge and from the nearby village got a tractor and rescued the car.
At the end of the day all of us fall asleep, tired but extreamly happy and we were looking forward to the next day. Unfortunately it was also today impossible to see the sunrise but all in all we had two awesome and beautiful days.
