| Ready to head out on a safari (unfortunately only had an iPhone so some photos are not very clear) |
 |
| We enjoyed watching these 6 baboons playing and de-licing each other. Have a funny video of them but could not upload it here |
 |
| Out of the blue, this cheetah emerged from the forest and walked right up to our vehicle. It's eyes were fixed on a gazelle |
 |
| Moments later, the cheetah jumped on the hood of the car in front of us to get a better view of the gazelle |
 |
| Up close with a lion & lioness - they spend up to 18 hrs a day sleeping |
 |
| Ngorongoro Crater - was teeming with wildlife |
 |
| Kissing giraffes |
 |
| 8 happy hippos wallowing in this pond. Have a video of 2 of them coming out of the water fighting and roaring at each other |
 |
| Buffalo - one of the "big 5" |
 |
| Sacred Ibis |
 |
| Pair of ostriches |
 |
| Up close with a giraffe - they graze on acacia trees that have long sharp thorns but giraffe's tongues are leathery so no problem |
 |
| Impala harem - lone male just right of centre |
 |
| Black-backed jackal |
 |
| Wildebeest migration - over 1.5 million strong |
 |
| Hyena - waiting around to scavenge a lion kill |
 |
| Closest we could get to these Rhinos - this is taken by holding my iPhone up to a pair of binoculars. Hyena to the right, wildebeests behind and gazelles out front |
 |
| Thomson's gazelle - gazelles, zebras and wildebeests stick together, safety in numbers; zebras see well, wildebeests hear better and gazelles have a keen sense of smell so they warn each other of impending danger |
 |
| Vultures feeding on a buffalo carcass |
 |
| Dizzying zebras |
 |
| Up close with an elephant |
 |
| Herd of elephants - we counted 50 in this herd |
