About this picture
Lion moving at night. Photo taken at half a second shutter speed, ISO 2000, attempting to pan with a lion’s movements in almost total darkness. Not surprisingly its blurry, but I still like the feeling it evokes of the stealthy movement of a lion stalking at night. The title is a play on the names of the two man-eating lions of Tsavo in Kenya, “the Ghost�, and “the Darkness�, which killed and ate over 30 people when the Uganda - Mombasa railway was being built in 1898. There is a film about the man-eating lions of Tsavo, starring Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer, which is worth seeing.

More Tips on Lewa Wildlife Conservancy from Travelers
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy
- Black rhinos. A mother and baby black rhino in Lewa Conservancy, Kenya. The people at Lewa are world leaders in conservation and anti-poaching. It is my hope that my photos will somehow help in conserving wildlife and wilderness areas.I also design camouflage for anti-poaching use, see the page “Anti-poaching Camouflage� on my web site camouflagepatterns.wordpress.com, which is presently number one on Google.

- Circle of life. The Fever tree is normally found near water, but this one has survived and thrived, perhaps tapping into an underground stream. A tree which previously survived and thrived in the same spot, now lies prone beneath it, decomposing and providing nutrients to the living tree. The living tree may have grown from a seed produced by the dead tree. Acacia xanthophloeia, Lewa conservancy, Kenya.

- Hills of Africa. In the valley below, you may be able to spot buffaloes lying down in a slightly greener patch of grass on the left, and elephants along the river, while there are also white rhinos in the valley (which are not visible in this photo). The view is from Lewa Conservancy toward the hills of Samburu National Park, taken late afternoon. To me, this is a quintessential African scene.

- The Grevys zebra has thinner stripes close together and a white belly (so the stripes appear to be black on white) and is taller and slimmer than the common zebra. The Grevys zebra is the largest type of wild horse in the world, and while it is endangered, and the numbers have dropped dramatically since the seventies, they are doing well at Lewa Conservancy and Samburu National Park in Kenya.

- Daniel, tour guide extraordinaire. Daniel guided us around Lewa Conservancy. Nearly all the photos I took at Lewa were a result of his amazing skills as a guide. I have worked as a naturalist tour guide in Australia for nearly 18 years, and I would rate the guides I met in Africa as among the best of the best in the world.Thank you, Daniel, for a marvelous time at Lewa!

- Samburu hills. A classic African landscape, with a view of the hills in Samburu National Park, taken from Lewa Conservancy. There is a somewhat flat-topped hill to the left of the two peaks, barely visible in the haze, which is sacred to the Samburu people. In the valley below, we spotted white rhinos, elephants and buffalo.

- Excited elephant. After enjoying playing in the the waterhole, this elephant shakes its head in excitement. I like to try and capture special moments of behaviour when photographing wildlife. Some individuals seem to have more personality than others, such as this elephant in Lewa conservancy, Kenya.
