A trip to Mikumi National Park
Last year Paulina went to Mikumi national park with her friends. She was so happy. She prepared herself very well. She took the camera and sweets with her. When she was still on the bus stand with her friends, she was eager to rush there. When they were still on the road to Mikumi, they saw an elephant crossing the road. Paulina was very happy to see an elephant for the first time The elephant was big. When they reached Mikumi she saw a snake. She was shocked and afraid, but she was happy to see it.
They saw many other animals like Zebra, Hyena, Monkey and so except a lion. But Paulina was in need of seeing a lion, because she had heard about it. So she wanted to see it live, and she hoped that she would see it. When they were still on the tour, they saw a man shooting a hippo. But there were the guards near, so they caught him. Then they asked him why he had to do so? But he didn’t answer. Then they asked him again “are you a poacher?” Still no answer. So they took him away. When they went to look at the hippo it was dead, Paulina felt very sorry for it.
Then they continued their tour. At two pm they stopped the car, rested for a while and ate some food. After they finished eating, they continued their tour. Suddenly the car stopped. When the driver looked at it, it had an engine problem. So they had to wait for a while. When they were still waiting , Paulina got out of the car and under the tree she saw an insect named cockchafer. She was so happy to see it. Then she looked up the tree, she was so surprised to see the bird with different colours.
The car was ready. So she got in to the car. Then they continued with their tour. At five pm they started returning back, Paulina was sad because she didn’t see a lion. Suddenly she saw a lion running she started smiling and she was very happy. And all her friends were smiling. And they were singing.
Suddenly the car crushed on the tree. There were twenty students, fifteen of them survived except five students were injured very bad. Paulina survived too. The quickly they rushed the five other students to the hospital. Paulina was very sorry for them including her friend Philotea who had her hand seriously injured. They enjoyed the trip well although there was an accident. Paulina returned home safely and happily.
Now of course we hope for no accidents on our trip to Mikumi next month! Keep an eye out for lots of pictures of our trip.
