Before we talk giraffes and zebras in Ngorongoro Crater, just a few more pictures from the Serengeti.

At our camp in the Serengeti, there were tons of animals, some that we could see, and some, like the hyenas, that made their presence known in other ways. We were warned not to leave things outside of our tents at night and one morning it became very clear why; a hyena stole one of the camper’s shoes. 

Typical dog.

The most prominent animals at our camp were storks, and boy did Chris and I get an earful about the storks.

“So, what are the storks saying? Are they bringing you anything?”

Geez.

 

Now for the zebras and giraffes that I promised. I feel so fortunate that we saw so many animals. With the sighting of our first few zebras, we could not take enough pictures. By the last day of our safari we were only stopping for cute, baby zebras who were nearby.

 I really enjoyed looking at the patterns on the giraffes and zebras because I was fascinated by how unique they were. The same, yet different.

Next up: Kilimanjaro! Finally!
