Day 7: Serengeti (Continued)

 
Today was Christmas.  The number one thing on our wish list was to see a Lion.  We had not been so lucky prior to today.  Happy holidays!

A picture of a lion.

We had finally found a lion and we were very happy.  Lions are truly the king of all animals.  They go about eating everything, drinking anything, sleeping anywhere, and just about doing whatever they want.

A picture of a monkey at the lunch park.

We stopped to eat lunch at a series of sheltered picnic benches.  When we were there, we literally had to fight for our food because the monkeys would pull it out of our hands.
