African Safari Pics

African Safari Pics

When I was in Kenya last month we had the opportunity to go on an African Safari to the Masai Mara Reserve. Living here in the States, I had gotten so used to seeing elephants and zebras with a wire fence between us. Seeing all these amazing animals running wild in their natural habitat was truly amazing.

Here’s a few photos from the Safari that I was able to capture. Click the image to view it full-size. Most of these images were taken with my Nikon D90 using a Nikon 55-200mm lens. You can also view the complete set of 100+ photos in this set on Flickr.

I was pretty happy with the way these pics turned out. What do you think? Do I have a future with National Geographic?

    You sure National Geo wasn’t paying you for these money shots???

    P.S. I LOVE the giraffe pics. I just love giraffes. Except for their tongues. I mean that thing is so long. And gross. Glad I don’t have to eat the tops of trees.
