Serengeti morning

Wednesday 23rd March

As usual for game drives we made an early start, away at 7 after breakfast at 6.15.

As well as two leopards a notable sight was a crocodile eating, every few minutes doing a roll to tear food from whatever carcass it had underwater.

At one point the car wouldn't start and we had to get out and push, and after that Muba didn't turn it off when we stopped (which wasn't so good for photography).

On the way back to our campsite we stopped at a fancy lodge so Janet could check the prices. But $480/night for a room was too much. (The lodge had hyrax running around a tree in their courtyard.)
