Last month, a hippo surprised us by walking right up to Mike Echo Kilo while she was parked at Seronera airstrip in Central Serengeti.
Aside from the clear footprints leading up to the aircraft, how else do you think the hippo gave itself away?

The Serengeti National Park is located in Northern Tanzania and is home to the world's last remaining large mammal migration.
"Maasai people called this park 'Siringet', meaning endless plains. The Serengeti speaks for itself and with good reason not only the migration of over 1 million wildebeest through its plains and woodlands but also unique landscapes and other spectacular wildlife."

Happy International Whale Shark Day!
Reposted from Matembezi Safaris - Tanzania :
"These peaceful plankton feeders are the largest fish in the world. Their Swahili name 'Papa Shilingi' translates to the Shilling Shark, originating from the pattern of white spots covering their body. Like fingerprints, this pattern is unique to each shark and is used to identify them."
