The Ostrich Portrait

2 days tsavo east safari
A portrait of an Ostrich in Tsavo East

Have you ever taken the time to really look at a wild ostrich? Everyone comments on how beautiful the black and white feathers are and how they gracefully strut around the savanna. Thanks to a telephoto lens or high powered binoculars, we can really get some fine details on the facial features of the largest bird in the world. 

 Its long slender neck gives this flightless bird an advantageous elevated view of the surrounding area, while its large beautiful round eyes, help it spot predators from a long distance away. Who would blame you for falling in love with the facial features of an ostrich!

The Colobus Monkeys Of Diani Beach

Angolan Black And White Colobus Monkey in Diani Beach Kenya A wildlife lover deciding to spend a few days at the Diani Beach coastline will be in for a special photography treat. Its one of the few places in Kenya where one can sight the Angolan Colobus Monkey at close range. They are easily identifiable by their black face, black fur and long locks of white hair that surrounds the face and also hangs off the shoulders. Being arboreal, they generally prefer to stay among the tree branches and canopy's feeding on leaves, fruits and flowers rather than foraging on the ground.
