Serengeti Pictures

The Serengeti does not disappoint.



More Hot Safari Action

These ones are pretty self explanatory.


Very large chicken.

Safari Pictures





We took a bus from Dar es Salaam north towards Kenya to a town called Arusha to start our safari. On the way we passed Mt. Kilimanjaro which you could barely see the top of with just a little patch of the glacier peaking through the clouds. It was pretty cool though. Our book said the glacier is predicted to disappear by 2020. So hurry.





Our safari was divided up into to parts over four days. First we would camp on the rim of the Ngorogoro crater and drive down in to see the wildlife.


Then we would travel to the famous Serengeti park where we would camp for the next two nights.


As you can probably see National Geographic isn't going to be calling to borrow my 3X zoom digital camera for any upcoming wildlife shoots. Luckily we got pretty close to the animals.
