Thirsty lions

This pride of lions satiated their thirst after gorging on an early morning kill. They are still covered with their meal and some mud too.

Immersive meal

Having had their fill, these lions wandered over to the road where we were parked and had a long drink from a rain puddle then flopped down to rest. For cubs it is an immersive expwrience. Look at that fat tummy!

Tree Hyrax

A grumpy face in a huge tree. Our guide Kumbi spotted him and pointed him out, we would never have seen him without his sharp eyes. These guys are related to the elephant

Hippo Eyes

Wildebeest Migration

Part of the never ending migration of mammals on the Serengeti plains - there had been a lot of rain, so deep waters to negotiate

Zebra crossing

The migration is quite difficult to photograph. This is what happens when a bunch of Zebra and Wildebeest decide to cross the road. On the road to Serengeti

A little spotted cat

The Serval is a shy cat, so we counted ourselves lucky we had two different sightings of this elusive spotted cat. This one was pretty wet from the early morning dew

The Leopardess

We had spotted this leopardess and her cub the day before. We happened by first thing in the morning and caught them both in the grass mucking about and heading to their favorite tree
