Unloading the plane at the Seronera Airstrip in Serengeti (photo: Eric Simonson)
It may be only 140 miles by air from Arusha to Seronera Airstrip in the middle of the Serengeti, but it is like going back in time. Now you are surrounded by the rolling grasslands of this amazing ecosystem, as far as the eye can see, and there is a primeval feel to the whole experience. Before landing it is not unusual for the pilot to buzz the grassy airstrip to chase the grazing animals away. IMG guide Sheldon Kerr reports that the Kili team made their flight successfully, and that they were now headed out on a lion hunt (with their cameras!). Good job team, and best wishes for the game viewing and safari!
