The Serengeti

We had a great safari in the Serengeti!

We saw sooooo many animals. My favorite was the giraffe. There are two types of giraffes. This is the kind where the spots go down the legs, the Masai Giraffe.

Our guide got us so close to the animals. This was about the third animal we saw when getting into the park. About 45 minutes in. I got really scared and moved to the back of the vehicle. But then I got used to it and started snapping away. That's a lion. :)

That's an ostrich. See how his legs are red? He isn't sunburnt. They do that when they are trying to attract a mate.

This cute monkey is nursing. I don't know what kind of monkey. I'll have to look it up and get back to you.

We say the first or early part of the great migration. It is thousands of wildebeest crossing the river. Fascinating. If they are pregnant and there is no water they can stay pregnant for an extra two months waiting for the rains!

Cheetah.

I added this one (don't know the name of the bird) because look at the bird at the bottom! It is hard getting a good picture of a bird flying. I thought this one looked pfun.

This was on the last day with our tour guide Marcely. He was great. If you go to the Serengeti, ask for him. Insist on it. Dad did and it was great. We saw so many animals and birds and learned so much!
