The African plains: A look through the lens

Ever since Dave and Deb of the Planet D cycled across Africa in 2008, the continent has been a special place to them. Here are some of the shots they captured during their return trip to the land of the Serengeti on our Tanzania Wildlife Safari.

Masai village

Here, we arrived to lively singing and dancing as the Masai men showed off their jumping skills—each man jumping higher than the next, trying to outdo one another.

Mother and cub

A gazelle walked right past these cheetahs on the hunt for breakfast, but the excited baby gave their location away by bounding out early after it. They missed out on a meal, but that didn’t seem to matter to them.

Iraqw village visit

There is nothing more uplifting when traveling than meeting children. They love it when you sit with them, show them photographs of themselves, and when you put yourself in the middle of them all. This group at the Iraqw village was no different.

Lion stalking its prey

We were watching a trio of male lions keeping their eyes on a herd of elephants. We took this shot as one of them broke away from his brothers and walked directly past our truck to sit beside a mound of long grass on the other side of the road.
