Our East Africa safari tour continued through the Great Rift Valley of Kenya with stops at Lake Nakuru in search of rhinos and Lake Naivasha to discover some of Africa’s many bird species.

PhotoPOSTcard: Fly Eagle Fly
Related to the American Bald Eagle, the African fish eagle is prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa. Like the bald eagle, the female is larger than the male, though as can be seen in this photo, the male, with a wingspan of over 6 feet, is pretty big as well. We saw this beauty at Lake Naivasha, one of the few fresh water lakes in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya.
Thanks for visiting.

PhotoPOSTcard: Hippo Love
It was really hard to find hippo love on our African safari. We saw many, many hippos on our various game drives in Africa, but I quickly discovered that it is very difficult to get a good picture of a hippo. Most of the time they are under water or just barely sticking out their snout, eyes or ears, so that it’s hard to tell what that blob is in the water off in the distance. Unlike many of the other animals, they just seemed to refuse to provide a good pose for the camera. They were either underwater or a group of big lumps lying on a sandbank. Of the many hippo photos I took, this one, taken at Lake Naivasha in Kenya, actually shows them in an unusually active moment while in the water.
Thanks for visiting.
