Masai Mara

the cheetah is the fastest animal on earth - it usually can't climb very far up but will try to so as to get a view of prey or enemy

Lake Bogoria

hot springs - this geyser is extremely hot - you will get severly burnt if you fool around here - Lake Bogoria - one of the Great Rift Valley lakes - yes those are flamingos in the background
dont be fooled by this lioness sleeping peacefully in the branches - this is the ultimate killing machine
elusive - highly camouflaged - the rosettes make the leopard extremely difficult to spot

this is the masai mara - the most beautiful highland savannah in the world - lots of grassland and blue skies (pic - nilesh dave)

i love this picture, it was taken by Nilesh Dave when we were on safari together

This is one of my favourites - its a superb starling and these beautiful birds are common in the rift valley and also in the masai mara

This lioness with her cub had injured her paw after making a kill. The lions got distracted away from the kill because a truck got stuck in the mud nearby. This is just near the sand river after Keekorok in August 2006

Masai Mara


We spotted two lionesses hunting at dawn, they were stalking a waterbuck. This was near a lugga with lots of bushes. As we drove nearer a whole pride of other lions charged out of the lugga and chased the 2 lionesses out of their territory. The alpha male kept roaring for nearly an hour and this amazing sound carries far and loud in the early morning stillness.
