We had a great time in the crater but we were also very excited to head to the Serengeti. You always hear about the Serengeti as the place to see these amazing creates and "wild things"!! Would we see a lion attacking a wildebeast or maybe a leopard enjoying a gazelle?!?! We headed out from the Sopa lodge at 8 am and we were not sad to say good bye!

Something scared the entire herd of zebra and wildebeast. Yuri took advantage and got this great picture.

Sunset at the tented camp

Did the guy really expect me to miss this sunset to take a shower?!

Our tent

Inside of our tent

Big huh? It was SOOO cool!

The mess tent

Hippos!

Good lord these guys were smelly! We stayed near this pool for a LONG time because Yuri was trying to take a picture while of them opened their mouths. Finally Manase and I could not take it anymore and we had to move on!

Hippo II

I see you!

Why isn't anyone picking at my butt?!?

One large scratching pole!

This guy was having his morning rub down thanks to this tree!

The lunch animal

As you know, there was always some sort of animal hovering around the tourist eating areas and this was the winner for the Serengeti visitors building!

A little afternoon cleaning

These guys are our favorite because they remind us of our dog, Hoochie! Luckily he doesn't like to get this dirty though!

How do I look?

Leopard number two!

Look at those chompers!

Getting embarassed

This guy had approximately 40 people looking at him at this point. He got up and left shortly after I took this picture.

An elephant afternoon

This thought this baby was small........

Even smaller

and then we saw this one. Manase thought he/she was about 4 months old. He didn'T let mom get more than 3 feet away.

So cute!

Mom, baby and big brother.

I can't believe these pictures. They are beautiful. It must be even better in real live.
