Africa

Good Night

It was around the dusk in Tanzania Serengeti National Park. Over a hundred of hippos were resting in a pond. A baby hippo raised his head and yawned with the last straw of sunset on his face. What a great day. Good night mom. F2.8, 1/500s, Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS II USM, 70, ISO 100

A peaceful afternoon in Serengeti

July is the migrating season for zebras and wildebeests in the Serengeti National Park. A group of Zebras were resting and eating before sunset. The grass is turning yellow because of the lack of rain. Soon they will have to migrate to the north to get more water. F10, 1/200s, Sigma 10-20, 20mm, ISO 100,

Hurry Up Kiddo

A cub lion was trying to play with his mom in an early morning on the east Africa prairie. But morning is the best prey time, the female lion didn’t coddle her kid for long, and soon walked the cub into a bush for hunting. F2.8, 1/250s, Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS II USM, 200mm, ISO 160

Migration

A family of elephants was migrating in Tanzania Serengeti National Park. The female elephant suddenly stopped, watching us and guarding her children from the approaching safari car. F5.6, 1/250s, Sigma 10-20, 10mm, ISO 100,

Overjoyed Donkey

We just ended a day of safari drive in Kenya Masai Mara and were on the way back to our lodge. Three donkeys raised in nearby Masai village were playing on the road. I took this shot when these three joyful donkeys were in front of us. F2.8, 1/2500s, Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS II USM, 165mm, ISO 100
