The Migration

It is tough to capture millions of wildebeests.  It is amazing how many wildebeest there are.  The camp is perfectly placed in the middle of the migration while we are there.  Because it rained a bit, they have all migrated to be around the camp.




















A baby gazelle.  They run so funny, bouncing around but are still very fast.


Snails


More ostriches.


More wildebeests


Dung beetle




We stopped for beakfast


All the black dots are wildebeests



It was rainy and very cold.  The weather has been very surprising.


Another carcass






A wildebeest got his head stuck between two trees and died.  There were lots of vultures on him.


Whistling acacia plants have black balls that are hollowed out by ants to live in and whistle in the wind.




Our guides.  Both awesome!



He actually let me drive multiple days for a while.  Super fun!!!



Next to the park is a game reserve where hunting is legal.  It is very expensive but you can still hunt lions, elephants, etc. there.




A turtle shell.



We drove down a road coming back from the game drive.  Here is a school.



The cows the breed are very small.


A massai man.


Another lizzard.


Aloe.


They use donkeys to transport sick people or cargo--they say they're a masai motorcycle.



Lots of goats being raised.



A boma (group of Masai houses).




Then back to the tent to relax.


Then we sat around a fire to watch the sunset before dinner.
