Just before sunrise on the savanna
A herd of zebras are blending into the tall grass this early morning just before the sun rising. The air is completely still and it is very quiet apart from a little noise from the zebras and some distant birds.
The massive hippopotamus of the Masai Mara

Tierboskat or Serval cat
Bathed in the warm glow of a sun-kissed morning, a magnificent Serval cat sits regally in the tall grass of the savanna. While many safari-goers focus on the “big five,” there’s much more to the experience than spotting large mammals. This elusive feline, rarely seen and often overlooked, is a true treasure to behold. Its striking beauty and graceful posture amidst the golden grasses create a captivating sight, a reminder of the hidden treasures that await those who venture beyond the well-trodden paths.
Gluttony and lions
While observing lions or other families of carnivores you will occasionally see serious gluttony that incapacitates individual animals. They will lie on the ground with heavy breathing looking literally quite ill. The reason is a big kill and the following eating party. The picture above is a Samburu lion, look at the bloated stomach. It could literally not move.
