IMG guide Eben Reckord called from the Serengeti on the sat phone to report that the team made a good start to their safari. After departing from the hotel in Moshi, they travelled to Arusha for a morning of shopping, then lunch, then on to the Arusha airport for the 45 minute afternon flight out to Seronera (in the middle of the Serengeti). Upon landing (watch out for those antelope!) they were met by the safari drivers for the ride to their private safari camp, which is tucked up next to one of the famous kopjes (or rocky islands) that dot the Serengeti plain. Eben reports they saw a lot of animals this afternoon on the drive, and tonight they are enjoying a barbeque under the stars, looking forward to a day of world class game viewing tomorrow.
