Visit to East Africa

- The Serengeti -

Sunset was approaching as we reached the Serengeti. 1540 77290_06 sun behind tree.jpg (154802 bytes)
Our first African Elephant. 1580 77290_10 first elephant 10.jpg (180562 bytes) Again we took tons of pictures of this one elephant.  He actually started in the distance and slowly worked his way toward us.

Our first giraffe - specifically a Masai Giraffe. 1710 77290_23 more giraffes.jpg (50144 bytes) (not to be mistaken for a Reticulated Giraffe :-)

Our first Wildebeest. 1900 77305_17 first wildebeast.jpg (274515 bytes) I always expected them in huge herds, but this is the dry season and most have migrated (we see many more later).
