7 August 2020
We’ve had the pleasure this week of hosting Clement Kiragu, Mutua Matheka, Trevor Maingi, and Josh Kisamwa at the lodge.

The early Mara mornings are nothing short of breathtaking. This week, for three days, I went out before sunrise and was able to spend some time surrounded by elephants as I waited for the highly coveted golden hour. [f 5.6, 1/800, ISO 400 -1.67 ] During this time, I was able to capture some lovely images....
