It's an early start, we are leaving the truck behind and will be using jeeps for the next 3 days as we are going on a safari. Packing very light, meaning smelling very bad!
Pure wildness, it's magic, the landscape is beautiful and the animals are at the rendez-vous. The following picture will describe better than words, except a little story.







We are camping in the middle of the Serengeti. No fences! It means wild animals like Lions, Buffalo, hyenas, jackals will be near us wondering around the camp at night. We have orders to not quit our tent at night.

1am: "Oh my God! Cyril. I have to get out. I cannot breath, I am boiling, I am going to faint. " "Emma, are you not crazy! You have to stay in! You know what they say about going out at night. "No no no, I can't. I have to get out." "You have to calm down. You need to breath slowly, you are hyperventilating." "I told you I am going out, I need some air." (I was actually doing a panic attack on the middle of the Serengeti! How amazing is that!)

I finally put my shoes on and got out of the tent, and finally managed to breath but...
...I am looking on my right, then my left and I see 2 eyes ( they told us that the first thing you would see are their eyes!), then just 2 meters away from me a "very ugly shaped animal" is passing, I confirmed it to be a hyena. I can tell you that at this moment, I ran back in the tent and I never found it so comfortable! My panic attack was all gone!



But this was just the beginning of many adventures! We didn't know that yet...


Reminder: we just want to clarify one thing; we have not being sick for the past 10 years, neither physically ( just few coughs in winter, like everyone), neither mentally (unless...!)

(more pictures coming, a soon as we get a better connection...!!!)
