On this morning game drive in Maasai Mara National Reserve, we once again went looking for a popular Leopardess, probably the boldest of them all in Mara. As we exited the gates of Mara Serena, we saw a hot air balloon drift through the morning haze. We stopped to...

We were headed back to the Mara Serena Lodge in Maasai Mara after an afternoon safari when our road was blocked by a herd of Cape Buffaloes. As the large herd ambled across the road, I spotted a pair of sparring bulls a little ahead. However we could not get close to...

After photographing the Giraffes in a typical African postcard composition, we drove further into the Masai Mara Reserve when we spotted this Cape Buffalo bull standing beside a tree. At first it looked like one of those lazy Buffaloes standing under a tree, however...
