The Serengeti,

a famous place meaning endless plain in Swahili and it was created in 1946 and all the Maasai people in the park had to move out and many of them went o to the Ngorongoro convservation area. This was sun rise.

 And another photo of the sun rise through an acacia tree which is so typical of Africa.
 And we hadn't gone far from our camp amid we had found s breeding herd of elephants.
 And al the time we were watched by a solitary giraffe.
 And the herd had several wayward juveniles who were sparing.
 And they kept on sparing.
 And they even shook hands during their sparing.
 And at other times there were herds of wildebeest crossing the road so that we couldn't go on.
 And we found a vehicle belonging to a project to follow some cheetahs.
 The researchers who told us where the cheetahs had settled down for the the heat of the day.
 But the cheetahs were still active if some prey came within range but it was only a secretary bird and the cheetahs weren't serious about catching a bird as there is so little meat to share.
 But we did see a klipspringer resting n a rocky  outcrop or kopjie.

 And despite being in the middle of nowhere there is always modernity and we were overflown by a local flight.
 Another hippo who was not about to pose for me.
 And lions in trees which have been seen before.
 A close up.
 A photo of one of the females japing down from the tree.
 But many are still too sleepy to move.


 But the migration started today and the animals are moving. They are set in their ways and will folllow each other in single file across the savannah.
 Hey! a very funny coloured lizard as we exited the park.
 And a selfie.
 And of course I can't miss some Land Rovers.

 And despite not being able to climb Kilimanjaro and having bot seen it whilst we were nearby, finally I get to see the top, but from a distance.
