Safari on 30th.September.2012.

 Two male buffalos watching the marsh pride of lions in musiara marsh.The four dominant male lions in marsh pride have developed habits of bringing down fully grown bufallos and for these guys they have to be very careful.
 Marsh pride of lions with there cubs,Elephants on background.They are two of the big five,with lions being the king of the jungle but elephants overpower them!
 When you are in musiar marsh,there are so many species of birds here and these sacred ibises  were following a herd of elephants to feed on the insects that are disturbed by their movements.

 On a termite mound for a better view.
 Sacred ibises  taking off.
 I took this picture from a small pond by Governors airstrip when we were watching Hippos.
 Egyptian geese with sacred ibis by the pond,these guys get plenty of food in here.
 Common hippos spending there day in the pond above leaving to feed by night.They get submerged for upto 5 minutes then come out to breathe.
 Thomson's gazelles males who they stopped fighting after we got there.
 Cheetah with her cubs near double crossing.Being non territorial we spotted her again a few days later 11 km from where she is in this picture.
 Sun set,Two Giraffes in it.In most mornings and evening sighting giraffes by Governors gate are common providing good sunrise or sun set photo.
