From 7:30 in the morning until 6:30 in the evening, over the worst roads I have ever been on, was our trek today. Only a short while into the drive we came upon a washout in the road. It had only rained a bit the night before, but the water all pours down the volcano as there is little vegetation to stop the flow. We threw boulders and rock into washout. It only took a few minutes before some Maasai appeared out of nowhere to help us. Eventually we had enough of a road rebuilt for Raymond to drive across.
We were very happy to see the park gate to the Serengeti. The roads in the park are much better (but that's not saying much), and after a few more hours we finally made it to our tented camp where we will stay for the rest of our safari - 5 nights.
You just have to remember all those animal sights and I bet the harsh road conditions just disappear.
