Day 4: School Visit and Descent into the Serengeti

We started the day with a early morning visit to a Masai primary school.  This school is for grades 1-7, and has approximately 600 students enrolled.  The classrooms were unadorned, not insulated, and there was neither heat or air conditioning (there was no electricity or running water either).  The students sat four to a bench at desks and looked like they were freezing.  After singing their school song for us and listening to a presentation given by the principal of the school, we got a chance to interact with the kids.  They loved taking pictures with us, and wanted to take pictures themselves.  We managed to get around the huge language barrier and had a grand old time making silly faces at the camera while the students took our pictures.  

After the school visit, we went on another game drive where we saw lots of lions and elephants!
