HOME! After a 5 flight, 39 hour “day” @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @KWBGillen @Rosievizslaruns @mikewardian #kwbpride

A continent closer...and yet still a continent away. Hour 27 of 39 en route home. We’ve had 10 flights in 12 days with one long one left to go. Cheerio from London! @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @KWBGillen #kwbpride @mikewardian

A great send off from Roving Bushtops this AM! 3 flights later we’re back in Ethiopia with 2 long hauls still to go. Actual transit time 39 hours. 😳😩🙈 @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @mikewardian @KWBGillen #kwbpride

We learned today that giraffes have artery valves at the base of their jaw that regulate blood pressure, huge hearts work to get the blood UP but when they bend down to eat from a low bush the valve closes @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @mikewardian #kwbpride

I’m not sure they’re ready to secure us dinner yet but they had pretty good shots! The Acacia tree: multiple species but all have thorns which keep the 🐘 from knocking them over & keep the 🦒 happily fed. @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mikewardian @mrpaparella #kwbpride #serengeti

A cold, muddy & incredibly bumpy 6 hour drive today, it was worth it! Camp dining continues to blow our minds! @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @KWBGillen @mikewardian #kwbpride

This is what we came for, “the greatest migration on earth” — bittersweet witnessing the “drop” of a calf tho! The weak/injured don’t stand a chance out here. If it didn’t stand after a few hrs Mom would have to keep moving. 😢 @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mikewardian #kwbpride

There are 100 cheetahs in all of the Serengeti & we’ve been lucky enough to see FIVE! These guys had super full bellies. Check out that aerodynamic form! A group of 2-4 male cheetahs is called a Collision 😂 @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @KWBGillen @mikewardian #kwbpride

Lion cubs were so active & adorable today (cooler weather), this pride brought our total to 41 for the week! Mom teaches them early stages of hunting by ripping off tree bark. @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @KWBGillen @mikewardian #kwbpride

7th/final full day on safari, an embarrassment of animal riches! 3 male brothers, one younger than the other 2. The darker the mane, the more testosterone/stronger genes, the more appealing to females. @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @mikewardian @KWBGillen #kwbpride

“Grant, what’s the best thing you saw on Safari today?” <expecting 🦒🦓🐘🦁> Grant: “All my bars!” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ @JohnLegere @mikewardian #Serengeti #Tanzania 🇹🇿📱📡

The lilac breasted roller as seen from the beautiful camp, final stop on our trip. Still in central Serengeti, it’s a mobile camp that follows the migration. What an amazing part of the world! @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @mikewardian @KWBGillen #kwbpride

Can’t get enough of the giraffes! As we were watching the baby a troop of baboons chased them away (baboons are very aggressive), as we watched we saw the baboons were actually being hunted by a hawk. @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella #kwbpride @KWBGillen @mikewardian 🇹🇿

While looking for the leopard we spotted a lion in a tree! And 2 more below. Guides: “always look for a dangling tail!” @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @mikewardian #kwbpride #Serengeti #Tanzania

Our safari lucky streak rolls on, saw the very elusive & shy leopard today!! Hollow/circles vs the cheetah’s solid spots & a smaller head. Guides guess there are 900 in the park but are so hard to see/track! @MBilanchone @RondaCook1 @mrpaparella @KWBGillen #kwbpride @mikewardian
