At the back end of August and into the start of September I went on safari to Kenya's Maasai Mara. It was a recce for some guiding I'll be doing there next year but the aim this year was to get as many photos as possible and basically learn about the place. I took around 5000 shots in the time we were there as I wasn't quite prepared for the amount we'd see haha.
Anyways, here's a few from the trip
Let me know what you think!

1 - Kisaru and her cubs. We saw this family of Cheetahs most days as they were in the closest conservancy to where we were staying, so on our way out or back we'd detour to go see them. She had 6 cubs and we're still seeing photos of her online now and all 6 cubs are still with her which is amazing
2 - Young Bull. This young bull Elephant was wandering about the plains by himself, not a care in the world. The guides reckon he's potential to become a Tusker later in life as the Tusks are well developed and large in comparison to his size.
3 - Barrikoi. Dominant male of the Lemek pride.
4 - Lioness from the Lemek pride. You can't really prepare for the feeling and adrenaline of seeing a wild lion wandering towards you for the first time!
5 - Enonkishu Giraffes. After we'd spent some time with conservationists from the Mara predator project we headed out on a game drive and came across a large group of Giraffes chilling out in the early morning sun.
6 - Female Leopard. After spending the week without seeing a Leopard we'd resigned ourselves to not seeing one, but on our last morning we struck lucky. Our guides heard a Jackal barking and tracked the sound for about a mile through undergrowth and trees and eventually when we found it she was sitting barking at this amazing Leopard just sat in a tree. The jackal buggered off when we arrived in the 4x4 and after a few minutes the Leopard came down from the tree and had a wander about. She even stopped to pose for us which was nice of her
