Baby lion behind his lion mother, Kenya Safari by Fotos by Jan Wehnert

We were on an unforgettable safari in Kenya for four days. Three days in the national parks Tsavo East and West and later still in the Taita Hills. This unforgettable experience I wanted to capture in pictures and these I now offer here.

The parks were extremely different, while the Tsavo East is known for its red earth, the red elephants and the steppe in a flat landscape, one finds in the Tsavo West also mountains strong vegetation, predatory cats and rhinoceroses. In the Taita Hills you will find a landscape like in the savannah with mountains in the background, my favorite also for the animal photos.

At the equator it is difficult to photograph, especially if you try to take close-ups of wildlife like I do. The light conditions change quickly and are also extremely different. Animals and vehicles are moving. So you have to be fast and work with the exposure times.

In the end, I succeeded well in capturing exactly this unique atmosphere of wild animals. Here you see a lion cub behind the mother
