Cheetah close up

There is so much to say about our trip to the Masai Mara in Kenya that it will probably take several blogs. We saw cheetah most days. It always amazes me to see how bold they are. This one walked right past the vehicle.

Below two males are scent marking their territory. One morning we spotted this topi (pictured below) stamping its foot in annoyance. When we looked over to see what was bothering it, we spotted hyena filing by on their way back to their dens after a night of mischief! This one was bringing a trophy home with him.A night on the forage had been a bit much for this bat-eared fox pictured here taking a restorative nap.
