2016 was another fabulous year on safari! I thought I’d collect some of my images and a short film I made together in one blog post to show you what an awesome spectacle the Masai Mara is and what fun we had photographing the incredible wildlife. 2017 will be our fourth year of running this incredible safari. If you like what you see, why not come with us on the next one?
Here’s the short film I made about our trip. Amazing animals, great company and awesome memories. Best viewed in full HD and with the sound cranked up!
And here are a few of the many images. Hope you enjoy them!
