The Magic of the Massai Mara - Kenya, Africa

in #photography7 years ago

The Maasai Mara truly is one of the best places on earth to see wildlife, especially when it comes to the big cats. The diversity and density of animals in their natural environment is truly a phenomenal experience.

Through my work as a cinematographer for documentary and TV series, I have had the chance to travel to this amazing part of the world 3 times, and am looking forward to returning again in September to continue shooting a documentary series based around the vast amount of wildlife in the Maasai Mara.

One of the things I love most about seeing the big cats is watching the cubs playing. Seeing the personalities of each individual cat even at such a young age is very special. The shy timid cats, the trouble makers - all traits that will stick with them as they grow up in to adult life

On our most recent trip, we were very lucky to get permission to fly drones in the national park, which usually carry a blanket ban. The aerial view adds such a great dimension to setting the scene and showing a perspective of the amazing landscape

I just saw a post with adorable ginger kitty. Here they are again in a "slightly" bigger version ;) You are one of the lucky guys that can watch them in their territory, watch the cubs play.
The first photo and the black and white one are just amazing.
Keep the posts as they are if you ask me.
