We are now waiting to experience the migration of the wildebeests. We crossed into the northern Serengeti along with thousands of wildebeests (aka gnus) and zebras. These two animals travel north together in a symbiotic relationship. The zebras are smart and great memories. The Gnus aren’t too smart so the zebra’s let them go into the water first.

On our way we got to see more giraffes – they are amazingly graceful!

Then we got to witness a Secretary Bird in action. This bird stomps its prey first, then swallows it whole. 

The diversity of life as we started our journey was impressive. We loved all the animals, even the unlovable ones like a hyena who was covered in gore and flies. . We went out to see the migration and saw anything but, the wildebeests gathered on the bank but refused to cross. After we started back to our camp we were rewarded with a second sighting of a pair of black rhinos. We had wondered how such big beasts were so hard to see in the wild. We figured it out. It was really hard to see her clearly.

Tomorrow we will try to view the migration again!
