I'd say #wildebeest - they have quite a shaggy 'beard' that hangs down their neck.
#yellow-billed-oxpecker
#bird #wattled-starling They don't eat parasites, they perch to look for insects in the grass. (thnx davidbygott)
Maybe #wattled-starlings or #rufous-tailed-weavers (thnx davidbygott)
#bird #roller (total guess!)
#bird #grey-breasted-spurfowl

This long snout reminds me of #Hartbeest.
Very young #buffalo. New born?
#vervet-monkey
#bird #kori-bustard
Looks like #civet, #genet, or #serval. I opted for Serval.
#lappet-faced-vulture #bird
#spotted-hyena or #aardwolf ?? Probably hyena.
#young #wilderbeest
#bird #bustard #hartlaubs-bustard Female Hartlaub's Bustard.
Looks epic...
#sky
#bird #bustard #white-bellied-bustard
#giraffe
Here is that female #hartbeest again!
Looks like a #jackal.
I thought it might be a #Hartbeest.
#zebra . The doc ordered total rest. (Actually a scientist said that zebras do this, especially young ones.)
#vulture
About 5 Nubians on right - dark with bare pink heads. Not seen in big numbers. Others a mix of White-backed & Ruppell's Griffons.
Looks like a #heron of some kind.
#bird #raven of some kind
Probably a Tawny - they are more common. Steppe Eagle is migrant that winters in Africa. In April, there may not be so many in Serengeti.
#sky and the horn of a Wilderbeest on the left.
#warthog These the the first ones I have seen foraging. Mostly they are trotting along.
#warthog
Yes, it looks like a #marabou-stork. #bird
Probably a Splendid Glossy Starling #splendid-glossy-starling
#aardvark
#baboon
Classic line of migrating #wildebeest.
Looks like a Yellow Throated Sandgrouse #yellow-throated-sandgrouse.
Hurray! A #honey-badger. Except it is so indistinct I'm not sure I'll count it as a real sighting.
#bird #white-headed-vulture
#superb-starling
Yes, that's what it looks like to me. #red-necked-spurfowl
#white-headed-buffalo-weaver #weaver
#superbstarling
#SouthernGroundHornbill #Hornbill
#CoquiFrancolin
#CrownedPlover
It's almost a Hartlaub's Bustard, or a Kori Bustard. #Hartlaub-Bustard #Kori-Bustard
#Superb-Starling

Damn... I noticed the second #giraffe after I clicked 'finish'.
#lion #cub

#black-faced-sandgrouse, #francolin
#bird, #crowned-plover
#bustard, probably #hartlaubs-bustard
#kori-bustard - preening!
#heron, probably #black-headed-heron, possibly #juvenile?
Maybe #white-faced-scops or #verreauxs-eagle-owl. Verreaux's is more common in the Serengeti.
It's a #bustard maybe the #black-bellied-bustard
It looks like a #coqui-francolin and #white-headed-buffalo-weaver
#owl The Verreaux's Eagle Owl is much more widespread than the White Faced Scops, and this could fit.
It's a #secretary-bird. Gorgeous!
Probably an #oxpecker.
It's a #crowned-plover.
#bird Is this a #kori-bustard It's got the black &white feathers & it might be leaning forward eating s/thing on ground.
#human and I swear that's a #horse in the background
#lilac-breasted-roller
Yes, it's a #crowned-plover
Looks like a female #yellow-throated-sandgrouse.
#bird Maybe Kori Bustard juvenile?
#sky - evening light
#giraffe legs
#bird - large raptor
#thompson-gazelle close face shot - licking its back
#human dancing for the camera!
#spotted-hyena
#secretary-bird
The birds look like Superb #Starling.
I'm confident this is a #reedbuck, though I wanted it to be a dikdik.
definitely a tree
Yaay... it took a while for me to ID this young eland. It looks like a gangly teenager.
#wildebeest - the shoulder stripes
I think this is a Striped Mongoose with two young ones - I missed the second young one in the middle distance at first.
#oops missed the group of Tommies in the background

fourth time I've seen this #repeat
I've seen this three times now. #repeat
No idea really! But the say they want a 'best guess'.
Wattled Starling #bird
Drat! I clicked 'finish' before I added the wildebeests.
Hurray! I saw the #aardvark... or I think I did.
bird looks like a plover of some kind
The birds on the zebras are probably Oxpeckers.
ooops... three guineau fowl in this one...
Antelope in the distance, can't tell what sort.
Antelope of some kind. I guess Thompsons cos they are most common.
I see two zebra and assume the eyes in the background are zebra also.
The #cheetah is sitting looking alertly in one direction. So, not standing, resting, eating, etc. I picked 'standing' cos it came closest.
Some grazers in the background. No idea what.
Maybe more #zebra in background but too small to be certain
