Serengeti

Day 2 in the Serengeti started with a game drive for us while some of the group did an early morning balloon ride.

 What a magic morning watching the migration of the Wildebeests making  there way across country...... thousands of them. 

We weaved our way in and out of dry river beds looking for another surprise. Today we noticed a lot of dead animals as we made our way across country so there were plenty of vultures at work.

Baboons everywhere one with baby on board

Tony checking for wildlife before we leave our tent. The buffalo are so dangerous and come quite close to the tents so the guards are always patrolling with their slingshots as well as a ranger with a gun. I saw a buffalo right below our deck early morning. There's quite a chorus of animal
noises once we go to bed. 
After our morning game drive we had a much needed afternoon free before meeting for drinks and watching the sunset.
