Another trip back from the coast, and another trip to through Tsavo East. An earlier start allowed for a great day of animal viewing.
In the early morning sun, the glossy hair of the gazelles was reflecting brightly. These two young males were warily grazing.
A waterbuck who already found the tree he would bed down under as the sun heated the day.
A large herd of olive baboons, wandering over the open plains. The young one catching a ride on mom’s back was quite comical, just looking around and eating while leaning on mom’s tail.
Elephants wandering towards shade and away from us. Almost every time we come across them, I have about one minute to shot before they turn and all I get is their rear end.
CDR Fetters and Mark at hippo point. One of the only places it is safe to walk away from the vehicles.
Not many hippos this day because the water level was so low. This one female keep an eye on us while her little one bobbed to the surface every couple of minutes.
Baboons must really hate the water as this herd leapt from rock to rock across the river.
I loved this croc picture because of the one snarled tooth sticking up, even at 4-5 feet long, it was very intimidating.
The only buffalo we saw that day were on a far hillside and moving quickly. Some of them were even running and urging the herd on faster.
A single gazelle that caught my eye.
A lone giraffe that was wandering across the plain. He, of course, saw us and wandered further up the road to cross. We upset him by continuing down the road and blocking his path for the better picture.
This last herd cut between the two Prado’s. We just parked and let them walk by, with the matriarch watching over us and being vocal so that the other would continue to walk quickly by us.
