Tanzania-Serengeti Day 1

This is my second trip Africa. Back in 2008, I went to Zambia and Botswana. This time, I went over to Tanzania to visit the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. I felt that my 200-400mm was not enough in Botswana so I made up my mind to bring the "Big Kahuna"-600mm/f4. It was the best decision I made for this trip. I used the 1.4 teleconverter on the 600mm at all times(840mm).

I decided to display the images on a daily basis so you can get a good idea what I saw each day. Mindful, I did not take pictures of all the animals that I have encountered.
I will try to identify all species. If I have no idea what it is, you will see a question mark. I have a lot of trouble identifying birds. I only have a book on Birds of Southern Africa which does not help much when I am dealing with birds in Eastern Africa.
