In the dry spells, animals walk very long distances to find water. This lone male has been walking for a long time, leaving his territory to find water. As he approached the water, the zebras cleared out within seconds. He didn't provoke them, he was just walking, yet all the animals cleared out of his way, even the Great White Egret. It was some sort of understanding or fear they have to this southern white rhino. The low angle shot made him look like a king.

The southern white rhino uses his front square lips to graze on the savanna grassland Laikipia. Seeing a pair together was a rare sight. Both of them walking together in frame was a an opportunity not to be missed. White rhinos are easier to spot than black rhinos. .

The lioness darted towards the wildebeest crossing the Mara River.The poor wildebeest herd ran, churning up a lot of dust in the process. Somehow the lioness missed her target and came back empty handed. I remember that soon after the shot was taken, there was a tremendous cloud of thick dust. All I could see was dust, dust, and dust everywhere! Maybe the lioness for her own safety, gave up on the hunt.

This is what future generations would say. An elephant will be just a memory, no more a reality. A dream where they will walk on Earth at peace, as they were born to do; kept alive only in our minds. In April 2016 105 tons of Ivory was burnt in Nairobi. It pained me to see how many elephants were brutally killed. It became a part of my life's work to capture on camera the remaining few living. This picture captures two things (depending on how you look at it): 1. They are walking out from heaven to earth and 2. The elephants slowly fading to nothing but memory. Their fragility is in our hands. This image gives a dramatic feel to many juxtapositions- power & frailty, gentility & giant.

Curious case of Benjamin Monkey
Here I was setting up my camera to shoot mongooses, when this curious Vervet monkey ran down the tree to see what was there.
It looks like he is adjusting the lens – almost like taking a selfie. I love the ray of light hitting his eyes, to give you the hint of what is going on in his mind. The sparkle in the corner of his eye makes this picture more appealing.Vervet MonkeyChlorocebus pygerythrusMasai Mara National ReserveKenya
Lack of rains in Laikipia made the zebra herd visit the waterhole to quench their thirst. The peaceful herd drinking water suddenly panicked. A loud snort by a warthog with little ones started the commotion. Such is the behavior of drinking Zebras.
An alarm call makes the zebras bolt to safety in Laikipia savanna.

A spy camera capturing Zebra herd at Mara River bank. The camera is carefully hidden to capture the behavior of unsuspecting Zenra herd. Soon the courageous zebras will cross the crocodile infested Mara River to go the the other side of the river. The crocodiles are hungry! Maybe the grass will be greener on the other side.
