Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha

Image
30th - 2nd June 2012 A trip of a lifetime and one that I will never forget.  This was my first experience of meeting some of the planet's most revered animals. Africa is a huge continent and there are plenty of destinations to choose from but Kenya is a one that has been well explored, and set-up for mass tourism.  I admit feeling ambivalent at times particularly when charging around this sensitive and globally-important verdant landscape in a mini-van, in pursuit of the next prized mammalian target. At least my aim to shoot these wonderful creatures was with a camera and not a gun.  It is a most spectacular place. Here are a selection of the many photos taken on the 8 day trip taken in May 2012. Camp Carnelley's was my base for the first part of the trip located on the foreshore of Lake Naivasha.   The grounds were full of birds including s uperb starling , l ilac-breasted roller , and this wonderful r ed-chested cuckoo .
