Kenya


We spent 14 days touring the National Parks of Kenya with a local safari outfit called Guerba. Sleeping in tents, cooking over an open fire, and bouncing around in an Mercedes safari truck, we experienced the Kenya safari up close and personal. It was the trip of a lifetime, with amazing images and memories. We ended up shooting 24 rolls of film with a Canon Rebel 2000 SLR, and over 370 digital pictures with a Sony PC100 Digital Camcorder, not to mention capturing nine hours of video footage. We've put up the best of the digital pictures on this page, and will make a few more of the better pictures available soon. Please feel free to copy and take any pictures you want. We're assuming that you're probably a tour-mate if you're copying these picts; high resolution images of these shots are available too. Send us an e-mail at winston@yeungstuff.com if you'd like a high-rez copy, or just to let us know what you think of the picts (or if you plan to use any of these pictures for commercial purposes). Click on the small images to view the full size pictures. Enjoy! Winston & Jen

The Big Five These five animals are called the Big Five because they once were regarded as being the five most prized animals to hunt. Now safari groups count themselves fortunate to have been able to see all of the Big Five; our group was lucky enough to see on two separate occasions the endanged Black Rhino, both times in the famous Masai Mara gamepark.

Cool Shots These shots are some of my personal favourites; the digital camera worked out pretty well.
Stork in flight	Cheetah tracks	Elephant family	Colobus mid-jump	Flamingo fringe	Lion Cubs

Butts of Kenya The tour name was actually "Faces of Kenya", but we kinda saw things from a different perspective...


Landscapes The scenery was amazing, and the sunsets were particularly spectacular.


The Masai Our safari outfit had made an arrangement with one Masai tribe to allow us to camp one night in their manyatta and take pictures of them without fear of retribution or demands for payment. A proud and distinctive people, the Masai we met certainly created indelible impressions on us.


Lions We loved seeing lions, most of them being found in the Samburu and Masai Mara gameparks.


X-Rated Nature in its full glory, uncensored and uncut.


Kills and Carcasses We saw carcasses all over the place, ranging from just skeletons and bones to the freshly killed and recently scavanged.


Other Animals There were so many different animals that we saw; here are some of the better pictures of them.
Cheetah	Colobus Monkey	Hornbill	Masai Giraffe	Warthogs	Baboons
Wildebeast	Vervet Monkey	Hyenas	Topi & Gerenuk	White Rhino	Hippos
Dik Dik	Reticulated Giraffe	Crocodile	Vulture	Chameleon	Fighting Goats

The Crew and the Truck (not the Bus or Lorry...) Here are the guys and the vehicle that made it all possible.


The Cast Here are the folks who spent 14 days living together 24-7 with each other and the animals.
