I had 2 goals when we left for Africa. Summit Kilimanjaro and photograph a Black Rhino running towards me. As I stood on the roof of Africa and basked in the glory of achieving my # 1 bucket list item, I wondered if I could knock off two items and capture the Rhino. Unfortunately the Rhino were a long way off and the only activity they produced was spontaneously lying down!
So, I was happy one morning when we set on the Serengeti, to see these Wildebeest running! Our driver, respectful of the animals and our safety and safe return would not accommodate my wish to get in front of them for a more dramatic shot but I happily settled for the side view.
Africa is wonderful. I also got a nice shot of a lioness and I debated long and hard over which one to post but this one was my first choice so I went with it.
Thank you for all your votes and kind comments!

An incredible wildlife capture, one most of us will never witness except in a capture such as this or on TV. Part of me wishes they were coming toward me - part of me is very glad you weren't in their path LOL Nicely done. 10 Voted earlier.
