Our guide, Adas, took us for a drive by the Grumeti river. He told us the history of the name of the area, he showed us crocodiles, monkeys and hippos, and two bridges built around WWII. It was a great experience and a lovely day out. More

An important game crossing and of course a good place to watch the animals. Just have your camera ready and enjoy. Occasionally one can discover more excitement than they bargain for. More
