Thanx John & Britain.

All this action took place over about an hour. Most of the vehicles had left as the Wildebeest didn't look like they were going to play the game and there were only 2 of us left. It was pretty spectacular watching it all unfold.

Thanx everyone for your gracious comments, it's much appreciated.
It's certainly a wonderful place Kenya, especially at this time of year........now just need to work out how to get back there sooner rather than later.
The last couple......
