    Oh my gosh, this video so well made. Your musical choices are incredible Ella. My heart is yearning for the African bush even more after seeing this. And the music for the scene where the wilderbeest are crossing is perfect. I love your documentary style vlogging. Keep up the good work.

    Wildebeest and zebra teaches us an important lesson. These wildebeest see there herd member being killed by crocodile, lion or sometimes hyena. Those who survive move on. Whenever anything unfortunate happen to human… they should do same. That is move on. Amazing video. Subscribed

    That chocolate cake look super tasty. How long were you stuck on the side of the road? I don't think I could have gotten much sleep with the sounds of the hyenas. I would be worried they would come into my tent. It looked like you had an amazing safari.

    • @EllaMcKendrick
      @EllaMcKendrick  Год назад

      The chocolate cake was a dream indeed 😋 I think we must have been there for around 30 minutes at least. I typically love the hyena sounds but yeah the realisation that I had chicken in my tent terrified me. The guard on duty that night said that a lioness walked straight through the camp! I slept through that part 🤣 Really wishing I'd set up a camera trap

  • @user-vu3ob7wl9k
    @user-vu3ob7wl9k Год назад +1

    Hey Ella! Which month and what time of the month was this? I am planning to go this season and was wondering if you advise skipping the crater and going straight, how many days to spend in the serengeti, and if you thought it was crowded!

    • @EllaMcKendrick
      @EllaMcKendrick  Год назад +1

      Hello! This was in late September last year. I believe the best times to view the wildebeest crossing are August and September.
      I actually really enjoyed Ngorongoro Crater. It's a very unique place to go on safari - I don't think you'll find anywhere else on earth with the same landscape. It almost felt like I was entering the Lost World as we descended into the crater. So if you have the time to visit both Ngorongoro and Serengeti, I'd definitely recommend doing both!
      I spent 3 nights in Serengeti. I wouldn't have wanted to spend any less time there. I saw everything I wanted to in 3 days but it's honestly paradise there so I could have spent even more time!
      It was busy but I didn't find it too crowded. For example, we always got great views at each sighting. Sometimes there could be 10-15 cars all at one sighting (that was at its worst) but I think compared to Kruger in South Africa and the Masai Mara in Kenya this is quiet. I also think September is a lot quieter than August. I hope this helps you!

      I saw the great migration in northern Serengeti, at the Mara River. It's very close to the border with Kenya's Masai Mara. This was in September. The migration can be found in different parts of the Serengeti throughout the year. I believe they start crossing from Serengeti to the Masai Mara in mid-July. I hope this helps you!
