Well back again in camp as there was a crew who wanted to film these..:
.
To do this they wanted to useone of these..:
,
AND one of these...:
So I decided to go see for myself... Well I missed the beginning but after a while this bunch of bully's arrived,

Stole their dinner and to add insult to injury.....!

They gave chase and the only way for this poor fellow to escape was to climb a tree... They then stayed there for at least an hour..!!

Another eventful evening passed in the bush.

Love those Mara days out....

Well unlike today that has been filled with the usual admin and visitors leaving etc yesterday was one of those days you only find here in the Mara...
An early start as the sun comes up finds a male cheeta trying his luck on a young Kongoni...( sorry no pictures) he messed up..!
So off to collect the relevant tickets and then head for the Mara river.
A few lions on the way and lots of Wildebeest headed in that general direction looked promising for an eventfull day at The Serena Crossing point..
Well not what was expected...! Lunch time arrives and only a few animals drinking causing a disturbance that attracted some of these fellows..

This led to a Zebra being grabbed and a lot of frantic activity and feeding

While all this was going on another commotion went on behind us... The Impale stampeded and the Zebra and wildebeest made a run for it as well..
This young lady had been lying in the Croton bushes all the while,

She missed her chance here and proceeded to move from Croton clump to Croton clump and try again.
After about an hour it was time to call it off and head to the Musiara swamp area and eventually home.. The swamp was full of Elephant and lion and this Monitor Lizard who was more interested in catching the last rays of the sun than running away from us..

And after catching up with Pete and Lisa who were with the Big Cat crew it was time to head home, leaving the sun behind us and a very welcome shower and whisky ahead, so ended another one of those fun filled days in the Mara...
