Rain Check

We had an amazing day today in the Serengeti. We drove 270km (167 miles) roundtrip to see the wildebeest migration at the Masai Mara River. We had to wait for more than two hours until they actually started to move, and then it was awesome!

On the way, we saw cheetah, maribou stork, long-crested eagle, klipspring antelope, eland, as well as our old friends the lilac-breasted rollers, impala, topi, hartebeest, elephants, baboons, an entire pride of lions, and too many zebras to count!

But I’m tired, connectivity is limited, and dinner is imminent, so please enjoy this rainbow with zebra and golden grass.

Arrival at Serengeti Soujourn

We’ve just arrived at the Serengeti Soujourn Camp after a long day’s trip from Arusha, including a flight in a 12-passenger bush plane and a game drive on the way to the camp.

Most of my photos are still on my camera, but here are a few Diane and I took on our phones.

Just a few zebra – we saw hundreds on our way to the camp!

A critical part of lunch!

Connectivity, electricity, and time are all in short supply here, so I’ll be posting very little for the rest of the trip.
