Kenya Photo Safari 2012
Back on terra firma a close look at a wildebeest.
And two wildebeests participating in the 2012 Wilddebeest 1500 meter run. The race begins when the lion growls.
We spent several days in Lake Nakuru National Park where we saw this Eland with an Oxpecker on his back. Look closely and you'll see the swarm of flies around his head.

And our visit to Kenya comes to an end.
Here are our 18 intrepid photographers and our five outstanding drivers and guides. It was a pleasure to travel with each and every member of this group.
This is my attempt at a really, really big ending.
