Very old stuff. A scan of a slide taken with my analogue T60 without AF. Over time the slide has lost some of its quality, so the scan is not technically top. Still a nice memory.
(Colobus guereza. kikuyuensis) B28I1860 Castle Forest - Central Kenya
Those Colobus are shy. The population is very restricted around the Mount Kenya
I have more proximate pictures but i like this one with the jungle atmosphere

Numerous documentaries feature wildebeest crossing rivers, with many being eaten by crocodiles or drowning in the attempt.
While having the appearance of a frenzy, recent research has shown a herd of wildebeest possesses what is known as a "swarm intelligence", whereby the animals systematically explore and overcome the obstacle as one.
THANK YOU for your visits, comments and favourites

——————
The lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African member of the roller family of birds. It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula, preferring open woodland and savanna; it is largely absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches conspicuously at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, lizards, scorpions, snails, small birds and rodents moving about at ground level.
Nesting takes place in a natural hole in a tree where a clutch of 2–4 eggs is laid, and incubated by both parents, who are extremely aggressive in defence of their nest, taking on raptors and other birds. During the breeding season the male will rise to great heights, descending in swoops and dives, while uttering harsh, discordant cries. The sexes are alike in coloration. Juveniles do not have the long tail feathers that adults do.
This species is unofficially considered the national bird of Kenya.
The Kenya sparrow, also known as the Kenya rufous sparrow (Passer rufocinctus) is a sparrow found in Kenya and Tanzania. It tends to be found in dry wooded savannah and agricultural areas.
This is a common seed eater in Kenya highland farms, orchards, savanna and urban settings. They often forage on the soil for seeds as well as scraps of food dropped by people. Insects form a major part of the diet, particularly during nesting. Although there are many kinds of small brownish birds this one can be reasonably recognized by the rufous and gray head, the black throat patch, and the pale eyes. The female lacks extensive rufous (reddish brown) colour in the plumage, but retains the pale eyes.
The Beautiful Sparrow is a lifer and was photographed early in the morning on a game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya
Maasai Mara (Masai Mara) is situated in south-west Kenya and is one of Africa’s Greatest Wildlife Reserves. Together with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania it forms Africa’s most diverse, incredible and most spectacular eco-systems and possibly the world’s top safari big game viewing eco-system.
