September 21st and 22nd Masa Mara National Park
This is actually the 24th of September but as I said last night we had a few nights we where we had very poor internet speed which meant I was unable to upload updates.
So tonight I’m still catching up and here are images from the 21st and 22nd. By tomorrow evening we will be caught up again.
We had almost two days of game drives or safaris in Masa Mara National Park, below are the balance of images from those two days. We were very fortunate to be able to witness and capture the great migration of the wildebeest across the Mara River on the 22nd and have included images of the most amazing sight.
We are now in Tanzania and have completed our first day of game drives. Enjoy today’s selection of images.
The first shot is a landscape out on the Masa Mara during our morning game drive
One of our jeeps pulling out a van that got stuck, Owen can be seen in the red
Two zebra adding to the landscape
Ostrich walking by
Look up way up
We came across this lioness enjoying the cool shade
Nothing like a picnic lunch when on safari, Brian, Vicky, Albert, Christine and Lorna
And a nice big tree for shade
This is the edge of the Mara river as we waited for the wildebeest who were gathering on the other side of the river. Some times this can take days to start. We were luck and it all took place while we were there.
It only takes one then the stampede is on. They are nervous as the Mara river is full of hungry crocs.
Then in a blink it begins
You can hardly see the wildebeest for the dust they stir up
10’s of thousands cross at once, and it is mass confusion
Reaching the other side
Safe
A wide shot to give you an idea of the amount of animals
One of the many hungry crocs just waiting
This is a hippo ramp and how these big boys get on the high river banks
Momma and her baby
Another momma and her baby
Giraffe horizon
This monkey wanted to hitch a ride
Male lion in the afternoon shade
A white breasted goway bird
Turtle crossing
It’s even mating season for the lizards
So many animals as far as your eye can see
Zebra’s and a giraffe
A monitor crossing our path
Baby cheetahs having fun

That’s a wrap for this evening, more from our Africa adventure tomorrow. Good night.
