A photo safari to East Africa is the fantasy of many photographers, us included. We did make that 'trip of a lifetime' in February 2008, spending 3 weeks photographing in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. Eight photographers, four driver/guides in four vehicles in each country with the birds, animals and landscapes to fill our days. We also visited a Masai Village and the small museum at Oldevai Gorge.  The 'Big Five" (lions, elephants, leopards, rhinoceros, and cape buffalo) were fascinating and photogenic. Cheetah, hyenas, jackals, hoofed stock etc. were wonderful to see and photograph. However, the birds were exquisite, even the plain ones.

Here are a few examples from the safari:
