Better setup this time by using a tripod to shoot the ASR Emitter amp. Not as many CAs because the sun wasn’t lightning the amp in one section. However, the amp looks quite battered in 100% 🙂 All shots done using aperture 1.4 / 1.8 / 2.8 / 4.0 / 5.6 / 7.1 / 8.0 […]

Samstag, 19. Juli 2014: Pirschfahrt Tag 8
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 […]
Friday July 18th, 2014: Game Drive Day 7
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 […]
Thursday July 17th, 2014: Game Drive Day 6
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 […]

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 […]
Tuesday July 15th, 2014: Game Drive Day 4
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 […]

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 […]
