2017-05-14: Masai Mara

The wildlife in the Masai Mara was just as amazing as it looks in all the nature programs that I watch. Here is a selection of images from my time there.

DSC_9893-Edit — The chaos of a river crossing.

migration — Waiting somewhat patiently for the chance to move up the steep slope.

migration-2 — As more an more animals moved up the banks, the ones that had slipped and fallen were stepped on.

migration-3 — A sad group of wildebeest too weak or injured to get up the banks. We left shortly after this, so I don;t know if any of them found the strength to continue, or if they ended up as food for the crocs.

20170212_WISTW-3 — A gazelle attempts the crossing.

DSC_9712-Edit — These are what were waiting for the gazelle…

DSC_9766-Edit — Thankfully this one made it back out alive. Of the five I saw try, only two made it out.

DSC_9708-Edit — Clean up crew on the plains.

DSC_9705-Edit — A topi with two little ones. They are a very stately looking antelope.

DSC_9649-Edit — A lone wildebeest grazing.

DSC_9645-Edit — A group of mongoose that took over a termite mound.

DSC_9612-Edit — A rare photo (for me) of a wildebeest where you can actually see it’s eyes.

DSC_9609-Edit — A lone set of stripes amongst the wildebeest.

DSC_9584-Edit — Animals as far as the eye (and camera) could see.
