MARA GAME DRIVE NO. 3

Today we drove into a part of the great herds that migrate through the Serengeti Plains each year. That was a huge thrill.

These two photos are actually composites of several smaller pictures taken and then pasted together to provide a panorama view. Another way of saying this is to say that the herd was too huge to catch in a single picture of any camera. It was an awesome experience to say the least. The feeling of power became obvious after a while as we simply sat there with the motor turned off and tried to absorb it all.

              

As we continued to drive around the Mara we saw more elephants, Grant's gazelles, got a view of a lion drinking, and watched a Giraffe lean way down to graze.

                   

We also saw a pair of Ostriches, more Topi, a White-backed Vulture, and a lot of Wildebeestes. My son took one look at that Wildebeeste photo and said "Ya know, Wildebeestes don't have a lot going for them, do they." I guess you would have to ask another Wildebeeste.
