Kenya’s Masai Mara travel 2014
Another 2 conversions done on my existing Masai Mara pictures. The 2 lions look quite nice in b/w but for most of the pictures, color does make a better job. The old lion was shot from an inadequate position being too high in the car. Leaving the car was also not an option 🙂 The […]
I started to review some of my last year picture and see which ones might make it in black and white. Although the Mara is very colorful, sometimes this can work out nicely. This one was shot when the guide found a cheetah that had just hunted a rabbit. It was eating and didn’t really […]
Last day… We are running one last Game Drive from 6:15am to around 9am. Then, after breakfast, we will leave to Nairobi again. After – for the last time – trying to find the Leopard, we drive again to the other side of the river just to see some cocktail herds. While driving through we […]
Last full day here in the camp. Tomorrow we have to leave. If I could rebook the flight, I would have considered to stay another day or 2 or 3… We try again to concentrate on the Leopard but for a last time, no luck. We will try the Cheetah later today and also in the […]
Again a splitted day with breakfast out. We leave at 6:15am. Mainly looking for the Leopards around but again, no luck. We take another look at the place where we saw the lions yesterday evening. They’re still around. First we thought they might go out for hunting but then they went up the rocks again […]
Splitted day today. We go out at 6:15am and – after seeking for the Leopard – drive towards north. We have not been in this area before. Several lions are up there and first time we see a family with younger ones. Later at the Mara river the first African Fish Eagle. Unfortunately a bit […]
Another full day trip planned. We leave again at 6:30am and want to see another time the crossing. On our way we get a 911 for a Cheetah having a rabbit. Unfortunately we are not early there to see the hunt. A Jackal crosses our way, very nice animals. Very shy… Later at the crossing. […]
Full day tour planned for today. We started at 6:30am until 4pm with lunch outside. Moving in South-West direction towards the Tanzanian border. We asked to see the Gnu crossing over the Mara river, so we’re trying that one. Before we leave towards that, a message is sent to Jackson that a Leopard with his […]
The map below shows the Little Mara Bush Camp. We had tent #1. Migration map of the time we stayed in Masai Mara. And one week before. Thanks to Sunworld Safari Tours for providing the pictures…
Leaving at 4:15pm from the camp. to north direction. Clouds are again showing that rain is supposed to come later. The sun does not give much light and most of the animals are in the shadows. However some good shots were still able to be done. For dinner the crew prepared a nice barbecue. Unfortunately […]
