# data[].attributes.body
We wish to travel to Serengeti in June because it has the nicest weather and is the perfect month to go. The high in June is around 79 degrees Fahrenheit which isn't too hot. The low in June is about 57 degrees Fahrenheit which isn't too chilly. Also, June is considered a "dry month" in Serengeti. This means that heavy rains do not usually occur in June making it the perfect time for us to go.

We would not prefer to go to Serengeti in May. For one, Serengeti's temperature begins to get colder towards May. Also, May is the peak of Serengeti's "wet season." Heavy and long lasting downpours are not ideal for camping out!

Scientific Name: Phoenix Reclinata
The Wild Date Palm has a brown trunk and green leaves. It is very messy looking. It almost looks like a big bush of palm trees and pine trees mixed together. The fruits of this tree are edible. They can be eaten raw. It doesn't have any health benefits or special nutrients in it, it just fills you up. We would only eat the fruit of this tree as a last resort because of it's awful taste.

# data[].attributes.body
Scientific Name: Flacourtia Inermis
This shrub has dark green leaves. The fruit is bright red when it is ripe and ready to eat and usually has about six or more seeds. You can eat this fruit either raw or cooked. The fruit is very juicy and flavored and can be very hydrating.

Scientific Name: Cichorium Intybus
This plant can grow up to 1.8 meters tall. It has leaves at the base of the stem. The petals are sky blue in color and only open on sunny days. All parts of the chicory are edible. The steam contains a milky juice that you may drink. The stem can be cooked and eaten as a vegetable. Also, the stem and petals can be eaten raw, much like a salad.

Scientific Name: Phacochoerus Africanus
Warthogs are usually a dark or medium brown in color. They have tusks near their noses. Their eyes are set high on their head and their faces are pretty flat. They usually have a wisp of hair on their back. Their tail is bony with little hair on the end. They also have hooves on their feet. In order to eat warthog, we would need to skin the animal, cut it up, and cook or boil its meat. Warthog is very flavored and rich in taste, very much like pork.

# data[].attributes.body
Scientific Name: Fish
There are many types of fish in the world, and in Africa! Fish can appear in lots of different shapes, sizes, and colors depending on their species. Fish leave under water and have scales and fins. Fish need to be cleaned and cooked before eating. Fish is a very common food around the world and is high in protein, making it a great energy food.

# data[].attributes.body
Crocodiles are very violent animals, so we will need to kill them from a distance. Crocodiles are commonly different shades of green and brown in color and have scales and bumps all over their bodies. They crawl on their four webbed feet and hang out in areas with water. Their head is flat and they have a huge mouth and huge teeth. We would need to shoot and kill a crocodile before getting near it. Cut it open, skin it, and cook its meat. Crocodiles have white meat and are high in protein. Many people say they taste a lot like chicken.

Dangerous Animals
There are many dangerous animals in Serengeti that we need to be aware off. Some of these animals are lions, leopards, cheetahs, snakes, crocodiles, etc.

Dangerous Weather
Some dangerous weather conditions we need to be aware of are harsh winds and heavy rains. Other than that, the weather in Serengeti shouldn't be a big concern.

Other Dangerous Problems
A major problem is that Serengeti is home to many active volcanos. When these volcanos erupt (which they do quite a bit) hot lava sprays from them. This lava then drys and turns into a hard cement-like solid. So, we definitely want to be aware of our surroundings.

# data[].attributes.body
After lots of research about the setting in Serengeti, we have come to the conclusion that a tent would be our best bet at a good shelter. We will bring along two tents that we can easily set up and take down. We are relying on the fact that we are going during a "dry month" and that it won't rain. As for the animals, we will either camp out in a hidden away mountain side or atop a high mountin, so we can avoid being harmed by the wildlife at night.

# data[].attributes.body
We will be bring 4 water bottles (2 for each of us) to keep our water in as we travel.

# data[].attributes.body
We will also both being bringing along our own heavy duty jackets. These will help us stay warm on chilly days and nights.

# data[].attributes.body
We will also be bringing a gun to kill the animals so we can eat them. After a lot of research, we have decided that a .300 Winchester Magnum is the best type of gun for us because it is easy to use, can be used from a distance, and can take down larger prey.

# data[].attributes.body
We will also be bringing along a hunting knife. This will be used to skin the animals we eat and cut them up so we can cook them.

# data[].attributes.body
We will be bringing to medium sized flashlights so we can see around at night. We will also be bringing extra batteries for the flashlights.

# data[].attributes.body
We are bringing 3 boxes of water purifying tablets to ensure that our water is clean and safe to drink at all times.

# data[].attributes.body
We definitely will be bringing blankets so we can keep warm at night. These blankets will be good enough to keep us warm at night, but a reasonable size so that we can easily roll them up and put them in our bags.

# data[].attributes.body
We will also bring around 4 outfits each. Our outfits will consist of leggings and a long sleeved sweat shirt.

# data[].attributes.body
We are bringing three pocket lighters so we can start fires. We are bringing three just in case they break because they can easily. And we are also bringing them in addition to the fire starters just in case they don't work.

# data[].attributes.body
We will be bringing along a small sized first aid kit in case on of us gets hurt.

# data[].attributes.body
We will bring around 5 packs of bullets so our gun doesn't run out of ammunition.

# data[].attributes.body
We are bringing a fishing net so that we can capture fish, so that we can eat them.

# data[].attributes.body
Both of us will have our own mini bag of travel size toiletries so we can stay clean and healthy and not risk getting sick.

# data[].attributes.body
We are bring fire starters so we can make fires. We need a fire going to properly cook our food. Also, on colder nights a fire can be used as a source of warmth.

# data[].attributes.body
We will bring along plastic plates, knives, and forks so that we can eat our food.

# data[].attributes.body
We will bring along a small pan to cook our food in. We will put the meat in the pan and then cook it over a fire until it's ready to eat.
