Safari

Living the dream on the Serengeti...better than National Geographic!



Lion cub watching it's mother stalk zebra. Unfortunately he got a little impatient and wandered over to see mom...scaring the zebra away.


See the crocodile in the middle waiting for an unsuspecting wildebeest to venture closer. We did see the crocodile prevail and pull an unfortunate beestie under the water.

The rest of the story...what they don't tell you on those wild animal documentaries. Thousands of exhausted wildebeests don't survive the river crossing and end up in piles downstream where the vultures, maribu stork and crocodiles feast on rotting bodies.

Fat and happy...have you ever seen a crocodile with double chins?



One of the "beautiful 5" of the Masai Mara....the Grey Crowned Crane.

Little lost giraffe...we were hoping he would survive the night!


Our traveling group...great company for a trip to Kenya.
