Bee-eater With Dragonfly, Bavaria, Germany
I went for the first time ever to photograph the bee-eaters. I drove 10 hours to get there, and as soon as I arrived, one of them caught a dragonfly, and I was able to capture this amazing image.
A Leopard’s Stare, Maasai Mara, Kenya
Meet this beautiful leopardess with a young cub that, from what I was told, has a birth defect. She was trying very hard to coax the cub to come back from its perch in a tree. Cubs are vulnerable to predators such as hyenas and wild dogs.
Super Tusker With Calf, Amboseli National Park, Kenya
The massive tusker was looking for a mate and passed by a herd. Spurned by the females, he moved on. The young calf was curious about the big fellow and followed him for some distance.

Once he arrived, he joined in as if he were part of the family. I found it interesting that there […]
Lone Giraffe, African Savannah, Amboseli National Park, Kenya
Savannah in Kenya stretches for miles in all directions. I thought the lone giraffe standing in the middle of it all made for an interesting capture. The few trees near the horizon grew from seeds brought in through animal droppings.
The Lion King Moment, Maasai Mara, Kenya
There is something very regal about these big cats. No wonder the lion has been idolised in the American animated musical drama film, ‘The Lion King’.
Elephant In Musth, Amboseli National Park, Kenya
TJ, the largest male Elephant in Kenya, was in musth. Musth causes the secretion of a fluid from a gland next to the Elephant’s eye, seen as a dark patch. This is the time when they start looking for a mate. As it turns out, the process is long and tedious. He may be turned […]

Hungry And Pregnant Cheetah, Maasai Mara, Kenya
This splendid pregnant cheetah was hungry and scouting for prey. We waited a very long time to see the fastest animal on Earth chase down its prey. Unfortunately, this did not happen during our stay in the park.
