Maasai Mara day three



We found a pride of lion last evening and one can really tell how difficult it is for these majestic animals when the migration leaves.  There were seven cubs; usually during the cool evenings cubs get up and romp around and play, these cubs were too skinny and hungry to do much more than sleep.



The light in the Mara at the moment is really amazing with clear blue skies and beautiful cloud formations.  The short rains have cleaned the air so there is no haze or dust, and we can see for miles and miles.  This light is fabulous for photography especially for effects and atmosphere!



This morning we encountered a herd of giraffe sailing across the open plains in the most beautiful morning light.



We took the opportunity to get some fun photographs of Andi and Jonathan for a safari memento!



There are a lot of old buffalo herds around at the moment and these two oldies have huge horns.  They look rather like Hanging Judges with their wigs on just hoping for an excuse to charge!
