The Road to Serengetti NP

We are now on corrugated outback roads on the way into Serenggeti National Park.

The car rattles and shakes and we wonder how it stays together repeatedly doing these sort of trips.

As We Near The Serengetti The Amount Of Wildlife Is Amazing
 Then there are the giraffes ........

Just when we thought we had seen it all; there's more. The amount of birdlife at Lake Mangara is staggering. Some of the birds we saw were yellow beaked storks, pelicans, Egyptian geese, grey herons, satin ibis, lesser flamingos, etc, etc. Baboon Family Velvet Monkey Looking for a landing spot Yellow Beaked Stork Egyptian Geese Warning Off Other Birds From Their Chicks Yellow Billed Storks  Marco and the Girls Sometimes In Life You Get Shit On Happy Campers Flamingos Grey Heron The Evil Eyed Flamingo Animals have right of way so we wait while an elephant pulls a tree apart

Serengetti - North

After another night in a safari camp under canvas we set out again on the maze of largely unsignposted tracks and trails that cover the Serengetti. We went along beside the Mara River but had missed the wilderbeast migration. The aftermath of the migration were the hundreds of wilderbeast carcasses littering the rocks with many large birds feeding on the remains.

We wound our way through a maze of narrow alleys, past vendors of all types while dodging vespers and bicycles.   Chicken with flies Technicolour Pasta Beans and Things Love the cabling The PVC water supply pipes are strung along the alleyways The House of Wonders is falling apart like much of the city.
