A handsome lion strides across the African plains. Masai mara, Kenya.

I think lions are such majestic creatures. Male, after mating, in the Masai Mara, Kenya.
African leopard. Collins, who guided us around the Mara, made this photo possible, with his intuitive prediction of the leopard’s likely movements. Leopards are hard enough to find, never mind getting into a good position beforehand to be able to get a nice angle for photographing them. Thank you, Collins.
leopard encounter. A gorgeous female leopard patrols her territory in the Masai Mara, Kenya.
Mara trees. A classic scene in the Masai Mara in Kenya, with dry grass and Balanites aegyptica trees.
Two young hyenas look out from the safety of the den. Masai Mara, Kenya.
A sleeping lioness yawns and shows off her formidable teeth. Masai Mara, Kenya.
Little Bee-eater. I love bee-eaters of all kinds. They are very active, catching insects on the wing, and photogenic. This Little Bee-eater was photographed on the banks of the Mara river in Kenya, near the Tanzanian border.
Thomson’s gazelle. A male Thomson’s Gazelle in the Masai Mara. Called Tommies for short, the Thomson’s gazelle is the smallest and fastest gazelle in the world.
Leopard. A female leopard patrols her territory, looking for food for her cubs. Much of the credit for this photo goes to Collins (with an “s”), a great driver/tour guide, who always seemed to know exactly where to go and what to do, and made this photo possible. Masai Mara, Kenya.
Sleeping hippos. I found these hippos amusing as they slept on a sand bank of the Mara river in Kenya. It is not obvious from this photo, but they are one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.
Impalas.Two young male impalas assess each other before sparring. Early morning, Masai Mara, Kenya.
Elephant feeds on the tall grass on this very hot and sunny February afternoon in the mara. Kenya
On our tour from the landing strip to Fairmont Safari Club we saw these to brothers in Masai Mara Nationalpark in Kenya

Baby baboon. Baby baboons hang underneath their mother at first, and as they grow a little older, hitch a ride on their mother’s back. This one is also enjoying a snack of bean pods, probably from a crotalaria bush. Masai Mara, Kenya.
Green hills of Africa. View of the Oloololo escarpment from a picnic spot part way up the slopes. One of the scenes from the movie Out of Africa was filmed on the Oloololo escarpment, near here. Masai Mara, Kenya.
Drinking elephant. I like the back lit water in this photo of an elephant drinking. The elephant’s name is Churchill and is drinking at the marsh at Little Governors camp in the Masai Mara, Kenya. I took the photo while on foot, from about 20 metres/yards away, in the late afternoon light.
