Hmm...yes I've been slack! It really is going to take me forever to get through these pics. Anyway thought some may be interested in a close encounter of the lion kind. Twice we came across lions whilst doing a walk. Whilst I had faith the guide had done this before it still got the adrenaline going! Not a great pic but good for memories. I've also included some more pics.

Walking with lions


Goodbye to the hippo (those are lots of crocs feeding on a dead hippo)


Another giraffe portrait


Elephant (also from a morning walk)


Hippos

Awesome images Nicole. You must be very happy with them.

Did you shoot RAW??

Thanks. Yep I shot RAW....and to answer another question from my last lot of pics...most shots were of the animals and birds. I did take some landscapes (mostly sunsets).

G'day Nicole,
Great to see them, the hippo pics are terrific! Seeing the lion on the WALK must have been a real buzz... I'm soooo jealous!

Trawling through your web-site now (well laid out!), the images must bring back some great memories...

Cheers.

Great shots. It's not easy to get through the pictures, so many. I have a number to get through too. It will take time. Hope mine come out close to as good as yours.

Hope to start posting some in the next few days.

I only had one walk in the Masai Mara, no lions on that walk, just a hyena in the distance, but it wasn't interested in us. But even that got me looking around a bit more attentively

There are some great shots on your website as well

Cheers,

Nicole,

These are great , I love the animals in the wild.

My mother inlaw just return from over that way also. SHe has heaps of pics with a crappy canon A520 or something.


The Masai Mara that radar mentioned rings a bell , plenty of elephants , lions, hyenas and stuff. Pity I wasnt there though the vans she had looked setup for taking photos.

Please post some more these were great.

Nicole - awesome shots. I have a soft spot for lion/s, so that one does it for me. Not that I would like to be that close in open ground.

I got to that stage and cracked up!!


Great shots Nicole, felt very sorry for the Hippo that had lost it's friend, the giraffe was great. The elephant looks kind of bored or tired.
