Kenya, Africa – A Wildlife Photographer’s Fantasyland

We traveled from Nairobi, Kenya to Amboseli National Park, to Samburu Game Reserve, to Lake Nakuru then on to the Masai Mara Game Reserve to watch the famous wildebeest crossing of the Mara river (more on that in a later post). An amazing trip with so much wildlife and so many photographic opportunities that I took 12,000 images and 50 video clips. The top few follow (be sure to read the titles):
