Description


Africa 8. This relatively small reserve in southwest Kenya is one of the best for wildlife. It is a continuation of the Serengeti in Tanzania and part of the great annual wildebeest and zebra migration. There are no effects on this fantastic sky. The skies in East Africa rivaled the wildlife in their beauty and drama.
