The poster shot, Africa's biggest mammal and biggest Mountain. Would have been nice to get more snow on the peak. D810 80 to 200 2.8 200mm iso 400 1/1250 f8 E. Africa Safari

Some young giraffes practice fighting. I came across this group less then one minute from my camp. I barely had time to shot and only managed to get the one frame before they stopped. Out of all my safaris this is the only group of 3 I've seen entangled like this, mostly its just 2 males...

I dont post too many zebra images from my safaris as im more focused with heading to see the big cats. However, sometimes I come across an interesting composition thats worth a frame or two and make a point to stop. D850 200 to 400 f4 310mm 1/640 f4.5 iso 220 Africa photo safari

This Big Cat definitely wasnt happy to pose for me so I didnt stick around too long! D850 200 to 400 f4 1/400 f4 400mm iso 320 +.67 EV

This big impala stood its ground and posed for a picture. D850 200 to 500 f5.6 270mm 1/2000 f5.6 iso 200 East Africa photo safari

Got quite a number of shots of this full belly leopard (See previous posts) this was one of the last few frames before it disappeared into the bushes. D850 200 to 300 f4 400 f6.3 1/800 iso 720 East Africa Big cats photo safari

A leopard comes through the bushes and straight to me before walking off. Only managed a couple of head on shots before it turned away D810 200 to 400 f4 400mm f4 1/400 iso 320

Managed to get a nice angle on this lioness. A few distracting elements but it still takes me back to the moment. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm f4 1/1000 iso200 oct 23 photosafari

This chap was quite happy to offer a ride in exchange for some free tick removal by the ox pickers. They do however also up wounds which isnt such a good thing. I got a few shots with the birds in flight as well, could have done with a brighter day had to push the iso. D850 200 to 400 f4 380mm...

Going through my old giraffe safari files and came across this one with a mum and daughter. Quite happy with the angle and lighting which is often an issue with giraffe portraits. D810 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/800 f5.6 iso 100 oct 2014 photo safari

I noticed a lot of commotion within the group. Fights kept on braking out started by one elephant. You will notice it trunk is damaged, it actually leaks quite a bit and must be causing major pain which likely translated into more aggressive behavior hence the fights. D850 200 to 400 f4 240mm...

A solo male wondering around the savanna. Don't actually see this too often, he looked quite healthy as well. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm f5 1/1250 iso 400

This Buffalo was getting quite irritated by the flies hovering around D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/1600 f4 iso 400 Feb 2024 E.Africa Safari

This cheetah was just chilling in the shade. Not in a major hunting or sleeping mode D850 200 to 400 f4 1/640 f4 400mm iso 1100 Feb 2024 photo safari

I got a few shots of this lion coming through the grass. It ended up being one of my favorite sets even though my first look at the thumbnails they didnt stand out as much as a more formal poses. Its easy to see how lions stay camouflaged amongst the dry grass. D850 200 to 500 f5.6 500m iso250...

These two would not keep still. I couldn't quite manage to get the right spot to capture them the way I would like (head on for the drinking one) so had to settle for this viewpoint. Such is life in the wild! D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/3200 f4 iso 400 Feb 2024 big cats photo safari, east africa

Hard to get a shot of these guys as they tend to be quite scared. This one was curious and posed for a while D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/600 f 4.5 iso 400 Feb 2024 Photo safari, east africa

Stayed with two male lions for a while this is one of the last shots before they disappeared. Tricky one with focusing and the grass, I never use eye detect or subject tracking in scenes like this. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm iso 800 1/800 f4 Feb 2024 Big Cats photo safari, East Africa
