Serengeti National Park

The next few days in the Serengeti were awesome, we clocked up some serious hours of game driving. The nice thing about being on a private safari was that we could pretty much leave whenever we wanted in the morning, & stay out in the park for as long as we wanted, as long as we were outside the park gates by nightfall. On the second day we spent a lot of time at the hippo pool watching some very photogenic hippos, including the cutest little pink baby.

Another highlight was coming across a freshly killed zebra right near the road. It was incredible watching the lions devour it. I love the pic of the one that has got the leg in its mouth!

Keeping on the lion theme, we were also fortunate enough to see the demise of a poor little bush buck that was silly enough to run right past a waiting lion. There was an incredible crunch as it broke its neck. The lion proudly paraded it past our 4X4 before taking it deep into the bush to eat.
The lions are the stars of the Serengeti, & rightly so, but there were also plenty of other animals for our viewing pleasure...
