The day started with a similar routine to yesterday, with Rueben bringing us tea, juice and biscuits, before our morning game drive. This time we saw a hyena with a very full stomach and blood stains on its coat after what must have been a very recent meal. There were also a number of vultures in the vicinity.

By this time we were getting a little blazé about the numerous sightings of wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, Thompson gazelles and ostriches but it was truly amazing how plentiful the wildlife was. We also saw topi, yet another member of the antelope family.

We returned for breakfast and relaxed by the plunge pool where Paul was duly stung by a wasp. Rueben, being the great butler that he was, was on to it in a flash and pulled out the sting and massaged any pain away. Incredible!

After lunch (starter: avocado and onions in a dressing; main: ravioli with pumpkin inside in a cheese sauce, dessert: lemon ice cream) Becky went on another game drive whilst Paul joined the Grumeti River Camp stuff for a game of football. This was an experience not to be missed... a kick-about on the plains of the Serengeti with lions not all that far away! It was 'skins versus shirts' and, since Paul was playing for the 'skins', he's not too difficult to spot in the pictures. :-)

Meanwhile, on the game drive (which included a stop to watch the football!), Becky saw pretty much the same wildlife, including lots of mongoose and some good sightings of the rare Colobus monkeys we'd seen earlier. The tsetse fly were being particularly bothersome until Wilfred stopped at a tree, broke off some branches and gave one to each passenger. In no time at all, the tsetse flies had gone!

We relaxed in the early evening before going to dinner. It was our last night at Grumeti and, unbeknown to us, Karen led us to a surprise dinner that was planned for the two of us... the plunge pool area was lit with lanterns and a table for two was set. There was also a gift for Becky at the table - a Masai bracelet. Very romantic and a wonderful surprise.
