The "Big Five" in one day, Maasai Mara

They may look like trees but the migration had arrived!
The Disney 'stars'
Unusual to see in the Mara, a black rhino out in the open!
We saw so many cheetah
On one day we didn't know which to watch, the cheetah or the lion...
The girls out on the prowl
A 'neck' of giraffe?
Zebra mixed with the wildebeest
This cheetah was on a mission!
And leopard within the first 10 minutes of arriving off the plane! We were so very lucky, thanks to a very special family!
