Description

A pivotal moment in the struggle for life and death on the plains of the Mara Triangle in the Maasai Mara (Kenya). The Thomson's Gazelle lost this round against the Cheetah.
I am heading back there this weekend to lead a photographic safari during the Great Migration. Join us next year on safari!!
