I wanted to show you the aftermath of those rains we had on Saturday. Speaking with some of the Maasai that live near the lodge, we found out that the rains were so hard they caused a dam to break and flood the surrounding area. We woke up to see the road out of Serena lodge looking like a rushing river with water flowing rapidly. There were a couple of 4wds that had gotten stuck and were slowly being filled with water and the grounds at the back of the lodge were also completely covered in water, so much so a hippo was spotted climbing out of the rushing water to find safety not 50m from where we had sat the day before!
We ventured out in our 4wd and it did really well, once out of the Serena area and onto the roads that go around the park, we found it easy and quite suitable for driving on, however those roads leading into the lodge were another story all together! It was quite exciting, E has always wanted to go four-wheel driving so this was his chance to test out those skills!
Thankfully, Monday morning they had pretty much dried up and the water had drained away so we could leave without delay...
