Serengeti scenery

The Serengeti is vast. 15,000 square kilometres of vastness.
It's name means the endless plain. For good reason.

 

But there are a few lumpy bits. Take this one for instance:

 

That looks like a nice place for lunch doesn't it? Except maybe for the leopard sitting on top.

We arrived in the Serengeti by plane. Not exactly a city hopper, but perfectly functional none-the-less.

 

As we descended to the air strip, we flew low over the Mara where we could already see a few hundred wildebeest crossing. 

On landing, we proceeded to do the same, but we took he easy route.

 

If only the wildebeest had figured that out.
We had aimed at arriving at the end of the dry season, but the rains had beaten us to it. Thus the migration had nearly passed. Left behind however were a rich variation of wildlife that we would spend much of the next four days watching and photographing. 
The resultant panoply of photos will take some time to whittle down, so I'll reserve a blog for each of the main characters. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the view.


 

 

 
Next up, the Cheetah...
