The Serengeti, Tanzania

After a nice break from the game park rides, we were back on it in the Serengeti. The sign at the entrance wasn't too impressive.

Like Kruger, there's a lot of hype, and it's pretty pricey. Fortunately it did not disappoint. Within out first hour, we got our first cheetah sighting of the trip, and it was not shy. Didn't take long for it to walk right over beside our jeeps.



Another hour later we found this big fella sitting up on a rock...


And then another cheetah with a fresh kill..

The next day we headed out for an early morning game drive. Baboons were everywhere.


We spent a half hour sitting here while a heard of elephants walked in around us and hung out at a watering whole.



No shortage of hippos. Still had yet to see one out of the water though.




So, on the whole, we all give it a big thumbs up (so does Michael, that crazy Dane).
