Safari Day 11 - Airplanes Forever

The Serengeti is remote.  So to leave you have to drive forever (on unpaved roads) or take a bush plane.  Our plan involved a bush plane ride.  This was pretty unique as the plane landed on a primitive dirt runway and the plane only held 12 passengers.  We're not talking about a big aircraft here.

There is also only one flight per day from the Serengeti which means they may stop multiple times at all the different camps.  It turns out we would have 3 stops before getting to Kilimanjaro International Airport where we would still have 2 flights to get to Masai Mara our destination for the day.  That means we had 6 plane rides in approximately 10 hours.  All in little planes that looked like this:

It was a pretty neat to see the animals from above in like... the first two flights... but by the time we got through customs into Kenya and finished our flights we were tired, hot, and a little motion sick.  Still, Masai Mara greeted us with yet more lions.  I suppose we shouldn't complain!
