We started our safari adventure in the Serengeti after our brief stay along the shores of Lake Victoria. Within in minutes of entering the park, we were bombarded with wildlife. We selected our favorites below to share, but this was just a taste of the huge variety of the game that we saw. And this was just our drive into the park on the way to our campsite. The safari hadn't even officially begun.
One of several shots with layers of wildlife. The gabbing ostriches are of course the focal point, but make sure to look through the trees as well.
The Grumeti River with crocs basking in the sun, looking tough. This is one of the major crossings for the wildebeest migration headed toward Kenya, normally occurring in June. Just upriver, we had seen a crocodile take an amazing dive off of an 8-foot drop in the river bed.
A male lion escaping from the heat. This was the only male lion with a noticeable mane that we had seen on our entire trip.
Lion cubs eating a chunk of zebra with the mom lioness laying next to them, paws up. We were so fortunate to have seen this. Zoos just won't be the same.
An enormous hippo yawning in the local watering hole. We were mesmerized by their size.
A "Yellow Fever" tree full of storks along the edge of the watering hole. One of our absolute favorite spots on the safari.
