Best of the cats
The cats were certainly a highlight with several prides of lion, cheetah and even an elusive leopard.

 

The Bila Shaka lion pride
Also known as the Marsh Pride of Big Cat Diary fame with over 20 lion including 13, they were fascinating to watch. We found the pride on a couple of different drives and were fortunate to be with them as they became active in the great light of the setting sun.

 

Princess and her cubs
On our very first morning drive on the Mara, we saw Princess, a female cheetah and her 3 cubs. Over the next three hours we witnessed her stalk, chase, kill and feed on a Grant's gazelle. Check out the chase through a sequence of these images.

 

An inexperienced leopard
After several unsuccessful trips to Leopard Gorge we ventured further south and found a beautiful young and slightly inexperienced male leopard.
