Serengeti National Park

We finally made it the Serengeti National Park in the northwest of Tanzania. Last major stop on our trip.
We had yet another long, bumpy ride to get here from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

We stopped at Olduvai Gorge - supposedly the crater of humankind, and several game viewing locations along the way.

We are at the tail end of the famed wildebeest migration from the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya. This time of year the migrating herds travel north. We saw the herds in the Masai Mara that had already made the migration. These guys either were late to the dance or too stupid to figure out how to get there.

Wildebeests are very dumb. Normally, zebras accompany the wildebeest herd and point them in the right direction.
