this was our last day in the parks, we joined a different jeep too, this is me cuddled up in masaai blankets with Fen, Ester, Vicki and Norelle, it was cool in their jeep - lots of gossiping!!!










so we went down into the crater and along the soda lake, there were loads of flemingoes on it but you can't see them in the pics! there were loads of zebras and hyenas by the lake too frolicing around.









We saw these buffalo, they were quite funny with the birds on their backs, some had grass all over them, some of them just stared at us, don't know if I mentioned before but buffalo are the hardest of the big 5 to catch/kill. they are clever because they go down when shot, but as you approach they get up and are you are soon the victim!! the big 5 are lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino and they are the big 5 because they are the hardest animals to hunt by man on foot.



we saw these ostriches, the males are the blacks and the female the grey/brown colour, dont know much about them



These hippos were really great because we saw them entering the water which meant that we saw loads of hippos out of the water, adults and babies, they are quite funny to look at really because they have huge bodies and very short stumpy legs!! they all rushed into the water while we were there and did the usual grunting, ear twisting, yawning, all of which was cool to see!

we also saw some jackels, a rhino but it was so far away the pics didn't really come out, we saw a load of elephants, a load of antelope species, the type I can't remember, but it was all really cool!
