Accommodation
We stayed our first two nights at the Mt Meru Game Lodge & Sanctuary in the outskirts of Arusha.
We had a nice cabin and it was most enjoyable to watch the resident wildlife, including waking the first morning, looking out the window right into the face of an ostrich!
We spent our 3rd & 4th nights at Maromboi Tented Camp. It was a really fun "camping" experience. There were zebra grazing right outside our tent.
Our 5th & 6th nights were spent at the Ngorongoro Farm House... a beautiful place with gorgeous landscaping, great food and really nice, spacious rooms complete with fireplaces (didn't need it, but it looked good).
Our 7th & 8th nights were spent at Migration Camp, way out in the northern Serengeti. It was truly the most luxurious, beautiful "tent" experience I could imagine.
Our tent was huge, with comfortable beds, nice bathrooms (including hair dryers - something I missed from home!). Taking a shower and listening to the hippos bellowing down below at the river is something I'll never forget.
But, probably the most exciting thing was listening at 2:00am in the morning to two lions "talking" to each other.
It sounded like they were right in front of our tent (we were assured the next morning they were much further away). Nonetheless, it was quite a thrill to hear that! The staff at each of the places we stayed was very pleasant and helpful.

Our highlight was our last full day in the Serengeti we came upon two lion "couples" lying across the road from each other. It was just us and one other vehicle.
