Serengeti and beyond

My son Brad and I have just returned to Arusha from a 6 day Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire.

The short version of this post is that the Safari was a rousing success and we got loads of good material. The long version of it is going to have to wait for another week or so until I get a 4 day breather in Nairobi.

We have one night here in Arusha, then we start all over in Kenya. We head for the Tanzania/Kenya border at 0800 and will be met by our Kenyan guide after we cross over. By afternoon we will be in Amboseli National Park. So we aren't getting much of a respite from a really busy schedule.

Here are a very few images from Serengeti:

This is at the park entrance looking back into the Ngorongoro conservation area:

There were some really nice clouds at times while we were there:

The park has quite a few Zebra this time of year that have migrated down from Masai Mara in Kenya;

Lots of Lions in the park, we must have seen over 50 in the three days we were there. This was a mating pair:

This female was extremely close to the edge of the road. She was about eye level and 6 feet distant. This is a wide angle shot:

These Lions were feeding on a Wildebeest that they had killed the night before:

Last time I had more good sunsets, but this one was a keeper:
