p.2 #4 · My first experience in Africa (Kenya-September 2022)
All these images are interesting to me. The leaping Topi is striking.
My favorite of your images is the last one. To survive the predatory nights, it's the simplicity and defense techniques of that circular, enclosed Maasai Village, Amboseli. Fascinating! Thanks for showing that.
And for all the horrible hell humans have put them through, I deeply love the elephants most of all.... the big bulls and babies. My favorite book is Lawrence Anthony's "Elephant Whisperer". BTW, his widow, Francoise published her own, "An Elephant in my Kitchen." Just this moment downloaded it from my Audible account.
Thanks for reminding me of these irreplaceable, priceless creatures.

These are all amazing. The sunrise photo is simply unbelievable, I can only imagine what it must have been like in person.
Nice to see there are some old bulls that don't get poached.

Thanks Robert! My take on this trip is, Kenya trip won't be complete without s visit to Maasai village.

You did a fantastic job. I love seeing places I may never get to visit. I think my favorite is the leopard lounging on the tree limb. You have a great eye! Thanks for sharing!

Late to the party here since I came back from Africa just a few days ago, as well… Those are wonderful and very enjoyable images, Shibu! The experience makes you want to go back again and again, huh?
I have not been to Kenya but I have been to Tanzania over a decade ago. I understood that the shooting circumstances in the two countries are similar in that you are not allowed to go off-road. You definitely need your longest gun to get intimate captures, at least plenty of times.

Thanks Leah, leopard is my favorite too, but I did not do much find this guy, it was the guide who took me over there after he got the radio message :-)

George, lovely set! Are you addicted yet?
Thank you, I really enjoyed it but actually not addicted yet, I want to try something different in my next overseas trip, may be some place/s I can walk little bit more and have the freedom to create my own shot.

Thanks Joshua. Great to hear from you and looking forward to see your TZ pictures. I may not go back to Africa in next couple of years, want to try something different in next few years and then may go to TZ around March/April season, probably in 2024 or 25.
