Big country, big game, big love for the Serengeti

[Monday, February 9]

Today, we spent the day on a game drive around the Serengeti.  Below is just a sampling of the large and small animals, birds and reptiles that we were lucky enough to see.  We had a lovely "Out of Africa" picnic lunch on the savannah. We returned home to a nice hot bath and a gin and tonic to wash the grit away.

Can you find the lion?


Giraffe encounter traffic jam -- they didn't want to share the bridge

Agama lizard - about a foot long in length

"Picnic lunch" on the savannah - little more upscale than Mike's usual picnic's!
