East Africa

From the Masai Mara to the Serengeti

A couple of weeks after returning from the Arctic circle I headed down to Africa for the chance to photograph the wildlife of Kenya and Tanzania. Once we learned what the 'big five' were, the goal then was to see them. For the first time, I'd be carrying two camera bodies for a big trip with the hope of avoiding damage from dust.

The only concern was, would there be side effects from the anti-malaria tablets?
