On our first day, we were told about some lions. Though we took many hours to get there, watching birds and other animals on the way, the lions were still asleep when we got there.

This is a young female, who still shows some of her juvenile spotting.

We saw hippos on several occasions. When they graze out of the water, you can see their true size.

We were lucky to find a rhino on our first day. This was the only one we saw the whole trip.

Warthogs have necks too short to reach the best grass, so they walk on their wrists while grazing.

This buffalo was right next to the road.

Zebra like burned over areas, and we saw many in this recovering burn in the southeast of the park.

A juvenile has quite soft fur.

The Wildebeest, or Gnu, has markings on the side that look like ribs. Thus, he always looks hungry!

But mainly, he's thirsty.

A delicious mud-wallow...

And now to sit and enjoy a cool face!
