While the #Wildebeest and #Zebra in the #NgorongoroCrater don't tend to take part in the #GreatMigration – you will still catch them hanging around the grasslands together. These guys compliment each other well – the Wildebeest with a great sense of smell, and zebra with a sharp eye to spot approaching predators. Shame this guy seems to have lost his striped pals today. #showyourstripes #blackorwhite #safari #tanzania #africa #wildlifephotography #rtw #travel #explore #natureaddict #whereswaldo
