Kenya Wildlife Safari - 27Jul09 to 10Aug09

We had been to Kenya, East Africa, for wildlife safari from 27th July to 9th August. We had visited 7 national parks in which they are mainly located at the southern part of Kenya. They include:

[b]1. Amboseli National Park
2. Tsavo West National Park
3. Mount Kenya National Park
4. Samburu National Park
5. Ol Pejeta Conservancy
6. Lake Nakuru National Park
7. Masai Mara National Park[/b]

Our trip was not entirely aimed at birdwatching while we had quite intensive game drives in order to search for both mammals and birds in the parks. We had seen a good number of birds and mammals in the trip and I'd like to share you some of the bird photographs taken in the trip. Please enjoy.
