No safari would be complete without the king! This guy and 4 of his buddies were staring down a Buffalo. We didn't see them actually chasing after him but it was obvious what they were after.
This guy would take more than just one Lion to take down but he could feed a whole pride for about a week if they got him.
Here is a family of Elephants trekking to their patch of forest for the evening. If you look closely you can see a 4 day old baby. we got several pictures of him hiding behind his mama.
This fella shares the waters with the Hippos. He is just slipping along waiting for his chance. The water was pretty low at the time so the Crocs were well exposed and the Zebras could tell where not to cross at this time.
The Hippos just basking in the sun and bathing in the water. They pretty much stick to themselves unless you try to get in their area of the water.
This was a very beautiful Impala looking out making sure nothing was coming his way. He is so perfect he looks almost like a statue.
A lone Wildebeest trotting along. The time that we went was several months away from the great migration time. This means that this guy and a couple others got separated from the herd, leaving them vulnerable to the many predators in the Mara.
A Hyena and a Vulture sparing over a piece of scraps left by the Lions. The Vulture was there first but the Hyena decided that the meal should be his.
Look at the little baby Zebra right in the middle. Since it was a few months before the great migration time, it was about time that the animals were having babies. We got to see several baby animals.
A picture just for Sydney! There were many Giraffes there. This was a big male with several more of his family walking with him. The pictures that we have with all of them they are walking away, this one is a better view of the animal.
A mama Cheetah teaching her two growing cubs how to hunt. The cubs came back empty handed but it was cool to watch them try.
A couple of Homosapiens. They are very elusive and hard to catch up with, but we found a couple of the good looking ones!

Dave and that damn golf hat. Jeez, that hat has more miles on it than most people. I'm going to have to buy him a new one. Great pictures guys, I hope ya'll had a lot of fun.
Super cool! I called Sydney over to see the giraffe. She thought it was pretty cool. ("A giraffe! Syd-syd sees the giraffe!") It sounds like you guys learned a lot about African animals. Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.
