We thought that we had sights that could not be topped, but we got to say that today was awesome! The circle of life displayed in action, over and over with three sightings...
The first sighting were the scavenger vultures cleaning the carcass of an elephant. The second sighting was a leopard in a tree resting after completing breakfast with the partially consumed wart hog by his side. Finally were the cheetahs (mother and two cubs) sharing a meal on the grant gazelle they had just taken down. It's amazing that we were able these actions in process, up close, considering the area of the Serengeti National Park is 12000 square miles.
In addition to the events noted, we witnessed two separate groups of four lions (both male and female) about 8 feet away. There were hyena, battling for the final remains of an earlier kill, several elephants and giraffes, and more.
Tomorrow morning starts with a hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti, a champagne toast and breakfast in the bush.
