Want good safari photos? Get a good guide.

Some of my favorite photos from Kenya are thanks to my amazing guides. Not only do good guides often know where to seek out the wildlife, but their experience gives them a seemingly uncanny sense of what an animal might do next. That can lead to a great photo.
Case in point: this shot of the leopard with the baby warthog.
During a stay at Kicheche Mara Camp, my guide David spotted (sorry, I couldn’t resist) this leopard in a bushy area among a circle of trees. I took the photo below when we initially found him.
We sat and watched for a while, and we could see that he had some sort of small snack with him, but we couldn’t quite make out what it was. We guessed that it was a young antelope of some sort, but the brush around them made it too difficult to see properly.
