- Serengeti Day 5 Part 1 Lion w/zebra kill, Ngare Naironya My back has not improved at all overnight, resulting in me feeling rather fragile and somewhat uncomfortable this morning.

- “Circle of Life”Tuesday, February 5 This morning started out pretty rough, but by the end of the day I was literally dancing and squealing, having had an absolutely amazing time.

- Serengeti Day 4 Part 1 - 3 brothers, Visitor CentreDespite being up and in the car by 05:40 this morning, we somehow don't seem to leave until 06:10. The good thing about this, of course, is that we actually get to see the Ole Serai Luxury camp in (almost) Posted by Grete Howard in Grete's Travels | Nov 6, 2018
- Serengeti Day 3 Part 3 - steenbok, eles, breaking into tent===Lunch=== While we are having our picnic lunch, the leopard (the reason we are eating inside the car) jumps down from the tree and disappears in the long grass.

- Serengeti Day 3 Part 1 - Tommy porn, jackal w/rabbit, crocEven before we are dressed and getting ready to go out on today's safari, at the unearthly hour of 05:15, we can hear the roar of a lion.

- Serengeti Day 2 Part 3 - rimlit lion, anniversary dinner===Lunch=== Just like breakfast, Ole Serai (the luxury camp we stayed at last night) has provided us with a terribly posh lunch hamper, complete with 'hot' food in traditional tiffin containers.

- Botswana Day 11: Happy Little KillersFor some reason, there was no wake up "call" this morning. No one arrived at our tent or anyone else's in camp. One of us happened to wake up at 5:10a. I walked across to Brenda's tent and woke her Posted by zihuatcat in Escape from Reality | Jan 6, 2019
- Serengeti Day 2 Part 2 - lion cubs, cheetah, eles on kopje Having had a lovely relaxing breakfast, it is time to go out and see "what nature has to offer us" today. ===Hyena=== Presumably injured in a fight for food, this hyena is limping badly.

- Botswana Day 10: Dead Hippo Makes for Smelly LionsIt was rough to get up this morning as the nearby hippos were noisy all night long.

- Ngorongoro Crater Day 1 Part 2 - lion cubs and more===Ngoitoktok Springs=== Probably the most popular picnic area within the Ngorongororo Crater, there are always a lot of people here, but it is a large enough area to find a spot to get away from the crowds.

- Arusha - Ngorongoro Crater Day 1 Part 1 Lyn and Chris are nearly always up before us and are such sticklers for time-keeping that we are very surprised when they don't arrive at the agreed time for breakfast. They finally show up some 20 minutes later – it turns Posted by Grete Howard in Grete's Travels | Nov 2, 2018
