Tanzania 2014 Serengeti Mara Day 2A

Tanzania is in eastern Africa, just below Uganda and Kenya, and on the Indian Ocean. At the end of our eleven day/ten-night Zambia safari, we flew from Livingston to Johannesburg for an overnight stay. The next day we flew to Arusha, Tanzania via Nairobi. Arriving at Arusha Coffee Lodge at around 8 pm, we spent two nights (one full day) relaxing there before our next adventure. On the morning of 28 August 2014, our guide and driver, Nelson, picked us up at ACL in his 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser for the trip to Ngorongoro Crater. After three nights and two full days in the Crater while staying at Lemala Ngorongoro Camp, we flew by Coastal bush plane out of Manyara Airstrip to Kogatende Airstrip for four nights at Sayari Mara Camp in the remote NW corner of the Serengeti near the Mara River and the Kenyan border. Albert Alfred Lucas was our guide and driver. All arrangements for our requested Tanzanian safari from our arrival at ACL through our return to Arusha and departure from ACL on 5 September 2014 were made by Africa Travel Resource.

A more casual approach to wildebeest dunking. Looks like fun!

  • Untitled photo
  • On the north side.
  • Roger Ram-Jet propels himself to a new record leap.
  • Now nobody wants to be next, so they back off for a breather.
  • Well, that pause lasted less than 10 seconds, and now they are all back into it.
  • Mid-stream everybody is keeping pace.
  • Another dose of indecision, and they are looking for another entry point.
  • That break lasted about a minute and a half, and now it's gangbusters to get to the other side.
  • A bunch backed up at a dead-end. Eventually, they all figured it out and went around the big rock to the exit on the right.
  • Another stoppage.
  • 10 seconds later it's business as usual.
  • An attempt, thru the air, to overtake a couple that have a head start in the water. He is very tense. It didn't work.
  • A more casual approach to wildebeest dunking. Looks like fun!
  • A couple of Topi join in.
  • Encouraged by the Topis crashing the party, the Zebras get into the act.
  • But a younger wildebeest show them how it's done.
  • Not to be outdone by the kids, and adult launches off the high-dive.
  • Is this the end of the line for this crossing?
  • Pressure builds as wildebeest pile up on the launch pad.
  • After a 20 second halt, a few more go for it.
