I purposefully kept this photo dark to emphasise the pre-dawn blues. Not often you find something taller than a mountain!

Every single time we visited the Ol Pejeta marsh there was something to different to see. We found these two lioness well before sunrise – on a mission to somewhere.

I used the backlighting just after sunrise to snap a few shots of this handsome male Grant’s Gazelle taking interest in a female.

The Impalas in East Africa are so impressive – catching a real clutter of horns was a great part of the day.

A small breeding herd of elephant crossed the Ewaso Nyiro River in fairly low light, making photography tricky, but we were downwind and well positioned to get a few shots.

This Sailor butterfly landed on Mark’s leg during a bush walk along the Ewaso Nyiro River – clearly sipping sweat from his pants!

I loved this buffalo calf’s expression – either from the rain that started falling, the egret scratching his back or more likely being disturbed by me!

This is definitely the best bird shot of the trip. A very confiding male Red-cheeked Cordon-bleu fed for ages within lens-range.

This is one from a series of pics taken around sunrise – my favourite time of day. I love the way the stallion stands apart watching his harem!

After photographing the herd of zebras at dawn I took a moment to perch on our trusty landy to enjoy the elevated view (thanks Mark)
