Africa

I took the photos below on a recent safari to Amboseli in Kenya. The park is 400 sq kms, with its southern boundary along the Tanzanian border. Amboseli consists of very large dry plains, the winds whipping up the dust into small whirlwinds known locally as 'dust devils'. Amboseli is renowned for its elephant populations and large herds of Wildebeest, Zebra and Impala as well as its fantstic views of the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro.
It is a savage, wild place.



I shot the photographs below on a recent safari to the Massai Mara National Park in Kenya.
Each year the Mara plays host to the world’s greatest natural spectacle, the Great Wildebeest Migration from the Serengeti. From July to October, the promise of rain and fresh life giving grass in the north brings more than 1.3 million Wildebeest together into a single massive herd. They pour across the border into the Mara, making a spectacular entrance in a surging column of life that stretches from horizon to horizon.
