Massai Mara Safari
I joined a small group of photographers from Germany, Holland, Switzerland and Italy to photograph Wildlife in Lake Nukuru and the Masai Mara regions of Kenya. I flew to Nairobi and then we travelled by 4WD to Lake Nukuru where we spent 3 nights. Then a drive to the Masai Mara camp where we camped out on the edge of a river in tents. Nearby Hippos were prevented from climbing the bank into our camp by carefully located dead bushes and twigs. However we did have an intruder one night!
