AFRICA
Photographer's Paradise!

Trip of a Lifetime! Dream Vacation! A Wish Come True!

Any or all of these descriptions could apply to my trip to Kenya in November, 1998. Never before have I been to a place where I could observe such a wide variety of animal species, experience a whole gamut of emotions, and shoot so many rolls of film. The tour, led by professional wildlife photographers Joe & Mary Ann McDonald, was everything I hoped it would be. Of course there were some disappointments when shots were missed or a species was not photographed but these were far outweighed by the sheer number of exotic animals I was able to capture on film. I hope you enjoy looking at the following images at least half as much as I enjoyed taking them.
