Safari Photos!!

A mom and her baby; I was on a walking safari at Lake Naivasha

 



These two zebras were having a friendly tussle about 10 metres in front of me; also Lake Naivasha
 

We got to watch a troop of baboons cross from one field into another. It was cool because some of them were going under the electric fence, but some were climbing up the posts and jumping off!! At the end of our walk at Lake Naivasha.
 



 We went on a boat to search for these guys; near Lake Naivasha

 The savannah in the Maasai Mara, pretty much exactly as I pictured it before I came

This is me wearing Maasai earings at a Maasai village in Loita Hills

The hot air balloon that I got to ride in over the Massai Mara!! 02/22/13

 Some lonely wildabeast that did not migrate from the Maasai Mara to the Serengeti

 I met this little guy at the Maasai village at Loita Hills. He was playing with this wheel, and was pumped that I was taking pictures of him!!

 And this little girl wouldn't stop smiling!! I couldn't resist getting a shot with her :)

Another child in the Massai village


 One of the older ladies in the village; you can tell by her extensive jewlery. The ladies welcomed our group to the village by dancing for us in the cow pasture...cows are sacred to them and this is why it was there, but it REEKED!! And there were a ton of flies too, but it was a good time.

 A group of six rhinos at Lake Nakuru, who ended up walking in front of our truck across the road!!

 One elephant in the Massai Mara; we saw about four families of them later in the day

 This bird thought he would be Jesus and walk on the water before he flew!! It made me smile :)

 I couldn't resist taking some flower photos

 This buddy was getting sick of the flies, so he decided to have a dust bath. Coolest part was that it was on our walking safari, and I was about 10 metres from this guy!!

Cheetah brothers; saw these guys both days we were at the Maasai Mara


Two brother lions to the lion below

I am pretty sure this is the best photo that I have ever taken :)

During my balloon ride our guide spotted these lions, five male ones, and after we landed we drove over to see them. They are a famous group of lions in the Maasai Mara, simply because it is very unusual for five males to be together. It is a father, Notch, and his four boys. They have no desire to rule a pride, which is odd, and during mating season they find a pride, kill the babies, mate with the females and leave. It was very cool to see these huge creatures!! I was taking pictures of them from about three metres away, closer than I ever thought I would get :) God is so good!!

These are my favorite photos of the week. I have very many more, but this is pretty much a little bit of everything. I hope you have enjoyed seeing a bit of what I saw!!
