Sunrise on the Serengeti
Masia Mara National Park.
Others said the sun came up rapidly here (near the equator). However, it didn't seem so very different to me. I probably would not have noticed it if others had not mentioned it.
We were still in the Serengeti, but on the opposite side of the border with Tanzania.

Hot Air Balloons
Masia Mara National Park.
One of the extra-cost excursions available here was an early-morning hot air balloon ride. I did not partake of this, but several of the people in the tour group did. Their balloon excursion included a bush breakfast (ITHINK that is what they called it -- like a picnic breakfast, but a buffet, with hot food, dishes, etc.).
Since about 1/2 of the group was on this balloon excursion, only the "other" half of us went on the early-morning game drive in the jeeps.
It turned out the balloons we saw (the ones photographed here) were from a different balloon concessionaire -- these are not the ones carrying the balloonists from in the Vantage group.

This morning game drive went of for quite some time. As we passed 9 AM (local time) I wondered why we weren't heading back toward the lodge, where they stopped serving breakfast at 9:30. Turned out we had our own surprise bush breakfast, on the banks of the Mara River.

Wildebeest
Masia Mara National Park.
This is the first photo from the afternoon game run. I did not take many (still) photos of wildebeests on this game drive (and those which are shown here are out of sequence). This was partly because, by this time, I could see the futility of trying to capture the incredible number of them in a photo -- there were wildebeests as far as the eye could see, in every direction. Instead, I tried to capture them using the video recording capability of my digital camera. That didn't do a very good job of capturing them either. However, I may someday (later) try to put some of that video on this site.
We were there during the migration. The wildebeests were starting a trek back into Tanzania to be in the southern part of the Serengeti when that area greened up when the rainy season started.
I had trouble figuing exactly where they were going with this migration. I THINK I figured it out after I got home.
The migration does not seem to really be evident except for when they cross the Mara River. Generally, they seem to be just milling around, not seeming to move in any particular directions with any purpose.
I suspect that if you had some kind of radio transmitter on a particular wildebeest, you would find that it might have moved,say, 4 miles closer to Tanzania during the course of a week. However, it probalby would have walked perhaps 35 miles in all -- in more-or-less random directions -- during that same week.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that even for Mara River crossing, a few of them might cross back (thus having to cross the river three times in all to compete the migration).

As I said, wildebeests as far as the eye could see -- and the same in every direction.

The next several photos were taken as we tried to follow a famiy unit consisting of a mother lion and three cubs. I'm not sure if I ever actually got photos of all four of them.

Afternoon Game Drive
Masia Mara National Park.
We came this close to the Tanzania border during this afternoon game drive. The tow parks (Masai Mara in Kenya and Serengeti in Tanzania) border on each other. There is no crossing point inside the parks (I imagine park ranger can sometimes cross for business reasons).
