Whilst we were watching the flamingos, this lone hippo was wandering round, he seemed totally lost, just zig zagging his way around the shallow water. Old male hippos often become solitary in old age, as they get fed up with being constantly challenged to fights by younger, fitter bulls in the pod.
We saw him again a little later, and he seemed a lot more purposeful in his stride!
Then on to this lovely little pride of ostriches, consisting of a male, 2 females and 13 youngsters about 6 months old. Exceedingly difficult birds to photograph as no sooner have you focussed on the eye, they've lifted/dropped their head and gone completely out of shot.
Next up was this lone wildebeest who seemed to be rubbing his eye on the ground.
Wildebeest, along with other antelope like Dik Diks, have pre-orbital (below the eye) glands which secrete a hormone and they rub the ground as part of territory marking.
Sitting on a rock just next to the road was this magnificent Fish Eagle. I snapped this and a few frames from a distance as with my usual luck it would fly away when we got close.
But for once it stayed still (maybe Dickson had been out early with the glue) and allowed me to take a few more.
Of course it eventually had enough of posing and flew off and no, I didn't get a decent shot in flight.
This smug looking Impala watched us the whole time.
Amboseli isn't really known for its big cat population, but in recent years sightings of lion and cheetah have increased and we were lucky to come across this pride out hunting. Two of the females were planning the kill, having left the cubs with another couple of females.
The lionesses moved in different directions trying to close in on their prey, which we think was zebra.
Although we watched for ages, they never managed to get close enough. Eventually they returned to the pride and the youngsters then came to drink in the mud pool directly by our truck - what luck!
But they all looked very thin and hungry which was a bit of a disconcerting considering how close to the truck they all were.
It was another amazing moment and I like to think that this little "Dazzle" was discussing its lucky escape.
