Wildlife Photographers – Rare Moments

As Wildlife Photographers, we are always looking for something extra. That special moment that hasn’t been photographed before. We are always on the chase for good light and a spectacular subject to photograph. Often this combination is almost impossible to get. One time you will get the good light and your subject is asleep, or your subject is active, playing and stretching. But the light source which is the sun too harsh and horrible. Getting the dynamic right gets very […]

BIG CATS

“Big Cats” is the informal term used to refer to the largest members of the Panthera Genus. I find cats extremely fascinating! I literally sit with them for hours to just watch and study their behavior. If it came down to it and I had to specialize in photographing only one species, this would be it. Survival If you spend enough time with any animal, you begin to understand their struggles and what they do to survive. A lot of people […]

PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARIS

What are Guided Photographic Safaris? Photographic Safaris are basically Safaris by experienced Wildlife Photographers. Its a service targeted for wildlife photographers, photography enthusiasts, and wildlife lovers. Photographic Safaris are here to change the way you see and photograph wildlife. We don’t do the norm, which is pack a van to capacity, whizz through the park in full speed “looking for action” and when you do find something amazing, you only watch it from a mile away or for a few […]

The Story of Lorain and her lost cub

The Leopard. (Panthera pardus) is one of the five BIG CATS. They are elusive, solitary and largely nocturnal. In the classical era a leopard was believed to be a hybrid of a lion and a panther, as is reflected in its name. The Leopard owes its huge hunting success to its well camouflaged fur, remarkable vision, exceptional hearing, good sense of smell, its opportunistic hunting behavior, broad diet, strength to move heavy carcasses into trees and its ability to adapt to various habitats to mention […]

Monster crocodile hunting a wildebeest at the mara river during the annual great migration as captured by photo tour leader Clement Wild

The Kill Sequence

The wilder beast are in their millions, grazing the maasai mara plains. This is the great migration, the 7th wonder of the world. This period though dangerous is very necessary. These herbivorous together with their cousins the zebras, are hunted day and night by the big cats. Effortlessly too, due to their large numbers. But the other equally dangerous aspect is the crossing, the dangerous swim across the Mara river. If you have witnessed the crossing you will agree that […]

Fierce Portrait of a lion with blood on its mouth as captured by photo tour leader ClementWild

THE KINGS OF MARA

The Kings of Mara – The Lion. The second-largest living cat on earth. In the wild males live between 10-16 years. I dedicate this post to these majestic creatures, The Kings of the African Throne. Contrary to assumption, the male lion isn’t the lazy cat it’s made out to be, yawning, lying under the shade on a warm afternoon while the lionesses go out and hunt for him. Lion supremacy ONLY comes by force and through fierce battle, which means […]
