Hi everyone, this is Todd. I'm in Nairobi right now with everybody. It's about 7pm our time and we're going to be leaving in a couple hours for the airport and the finish of our expedition.

Again, we had a great trip. Our last day of safari we cruised the Serengeti and saw numerous lions. We actually watched some lions stalk a couple of zebras as they were going to the water. But they didn't catch them, so lucky zebras. And we saw numerous other things: hyenas chasing buzzards away from kills. And, you know, sometimes it's a little gruesome, but it's all so fascinating to see how the nature of things goes in the Serengeti.

We are all back here, everyone is healthy and it was a great expedition and we hope everyone is well there. And that's all for now. Bye-bye.
