In the Serengeti, and at other national parks, we saw loads of young zebras. I guess it’s that time of year.
Is a young zebra called a colt? No idea. I just know they are super cute.
Zebra stripes are brown and white when young, and black and white when mature.

Driving across to the Serengeti I saw my first wild zebra.
Of course, in the Serengeti itself we saw so many zebras we soon got bored of them. That didn’t stop me trying to take interesting photos.
Zebras often hang out in pairs, theoretically to confuse lions.

Zebras and wildebeasts have a symbiotic relationship. Wildebeast can smell water, and zebras can smell lions. Maybe it is the other way around. Either way, together they survive longer than single species herds. I took this photo in the Ngorongoro Crater.

This is one of my favourite photos from the trip. While driving through the Mikumi National Park (along a busy road) our truck startled a giraffe, and it took a run. I snapped some photos, following it with my camera, and then I noticed it would pass behind this zebra. I was pleased that I timed the shot almost perfectly, as each of the giraffe, zebra and truck were moving.

On the way from Arusha to the Serengeti, we spotted our first wild giraffes. The driver stopped to let us take photos, even though I suspected that by the end of the trip we wouldn’t be bothered about giraffes at all.
As it happened, I never got sick of seeing giraffes, nor with taking photos of them.
Giraffes are so big that when they move, they look like they are running in slow motion. Also they always look diectly at the camera for a photo. I like animals that do that.
