During our stay in Kenya and Tanzania, we went to quite a few national parks and reserves and were lucky enough to see all of the big five (elephant, buffalo, lion, rhino and leopard) and get a decent picture of 4 (all except the leopard who was too quick for us). We saw zebras, giraffes, tons of different antelopes and birds, hippos, crocs, jackels, warthogs, 1 hyena, and the highlight - a mother cheetah with 3 cubs, out on a walk for the very first time.
Cheetah and cubs:
Black rhino and baby:
A hippo who might just eat its baby:
Baby topi:
Here are my two favorite lion pictures (sans cubs).
Chillin:
Up (too) close (in Ngorogoro, animals are more used to cars and are less skittish):
And just for fun, a very cheeky Starling (who flew off with our bread roll):
