Day 1 at Serengeti National Park: Awesome Day!

Because we were up before dawn, we saw a lovely sunrise. We were with Livingstone again and only five passengers. Three members of our group had […]

Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge

I don’t join this challenge very often but I do enjoy it! Here’s my contribution for this week: This path on the Serengeti plain was made by a hippo! A safari vehicle stirs up dust as it drives past a lion walking. Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge, 4/13/18
