Migration Gestation in the Serengeti

After a nice breakfast at the Kusini camp we set out on a 12 hour game drive this morning.  First encountering a herd of giraffe, a tawny eagle which I was patient enough to wait for takeoff,lilac breasted roller, and a blue igama lizard on a acacia forest.

We then drove into the migration, as I described yesterday this is truly amazing.  We saw a wildebeast give birth and within minutes the newborn was up and walking and 5 minutes later running along side its mother!  The zebras were also really cool drinking in unison and running out of the water every time they heard a noise.

We had lunch out in the Serengeti, and our drive back to camp spotted bat eared foxes, really cute, a white breasted weaver, lizard eating buzzard and a horned billed kestrel. The bird spotting is really fun, the variety birds native to East Africa is endless.

Tomorrow we move on to the Ngorongoro crater for three days and then the journey home.
