OMC possibly has one of the largest Lion densities anywhere in Africa ....... We were lucky to see some Lion / Hyena interaction although not a very photogenic sighting ............ Still a memorable morning!

Please try and watch, "The Ivory Game" on Netflix - It has a lot of film clip from the Chylus and the amazing anti-poaching efforts of the big life foundation and features Craig Millar (the pilot for these scenic photos) ......

I have thought about Ol Donyo Lodge and your report and pics have me thinking some more. Love the aerials. Was the cub plane your transportation that extended to a flying safari? You really got a variety of landscapes. You must have been flying all over Chyulu. So many excellent shots but your blurred Malaika offers a clever angle.

Thanks, @@Atravelynn - You definitely need to get to ODL ....... It's an amazing experience! Best to go when it's dry to ensure there's plenty of game at the camp hide/waterhole ..... Loads of Oryx, Elephant, Zebra and Eland.

 

The cub plane flight was just a scenic flight by Craig from Big Life Foundation - It was just about an hour i think ........
