Monkey Business in the Serengeti

Just when we thought our day of safari in the Serengeti was over, we had one more unexpected encounter.

Josh and I entered our room at the Serengeti Lodge and immediately opened the windows to let in some fresh air.  We both headed to the bathroom to clean up and get ready for dinner.

Within seconds we heard a ruckus and some screeching.  Josh ran out to discover three monkeys were tearing up the place.  He yelled and chased them out the window.  These crafty monkeys were trying to claw their way back in!  After noticing our apples were missing, we checked our bags to make sure they didn’t take anything valuable.

Our nerves finally settled down and then we saw it;  a sign on the back of the door warning us to not leave the room unattended with the windows open, even for a few seconds.

Thank goodness they only got away with our apples and not our passports.  I can only imagine a monkey trying cross the border pretending to be me!
