Mammals of Lake Nakuru National Park
Buffalo Silhouette

I love going to the South plain of Lake Nakuru early in the morning as with the backlight, you can get animal silhouettes. This plain is home to black and white rhinos, buffalos, antelopes, warthogs and occasionally lions as well as a myriad of birds because of the floodplain. On that morning, a herd of buffalos decided to cross the floodplain. I grabbed the chance to take a series of shots.

Nikon D700, Sigma 150-500mm OS at 450mm, F6.3, 1/8000s, ISO 1600, handheld.
