The other game drives produced many unique experiences seeing so many animals.
Highlights included
Prides of lions
Mating lions, who had no privacy as there were about 25 jeeps full of people pulled up watching.
A cheetah family - we broke the law by leaving the road and driving up to within 5 feet of these amazing animals
A Serval
Giraffes
Hyenas
Gazelles
Miscellaneous birds
Zebras
Mating Ostriches
Hippopotami- my new favorite animal. It was so relaxing to sit in the jeep and watch the hippos relax in the pools
But the same pools had alligators
Live Elephants
and a dead Elephant - all you can really see in these photos is the vultures
A family of wild hogs
There were some interesting seedpods from the Kigelia tree. The genus name comes from the Mozambican Bantu name, kigeli-keia, while the common names include sausage tree and cucumber tree refer to the long, sausage-like fruit.
I stayed at the Serengeti Serena Lodge while in the Serengeti National Park.
Here is the view from my hotel window
The hotel had some interesting options for seeing wildlife too. Hyraxes were plentiful and ran along the thatched rooftops. There were frogs along the walkway to dinner (second picture and video). There were also several dik-diks I could see out my window.
