Serengeti Day 3 - Fabulous morning

Today we got up early in order to see a different part of the park. We saw a great variety! It started with seeing our first male lion, protecting his meal from his own children. Of course, I shouldn't be too critical since I do the same with my children at home.

Then we saw our first leopard. He was hanging out in a tree with his kill. See if you can find both the Leopard and the wildebeest in this pic. We were quite a distance away.

Next up Hippos doing what they do.

...and as we headed back for lunch we saw another male lion mating with one of his pride.

And we were lucky to she another from the same pride relaxing in a tree to avoid some elephant wondering by. We were able to get WAY close. This photo was taken with my iPhone, as with most on this blog.

You can see the elephant family she was avoiding in the distance.

This was a good morning.
