Animal Photo Ranks
Many African animals -like the ubiquitous gnu-
are easily photographed in the Masai Mara, while others will give you
a harder time, both because they are rarely spotted (such as the elusive
leopard) or because their environment and/or habits makes it difficult
to shoot a nice picture (hippos, for example, which are only seen out
of the water during the night).
The following table ranks the animals of the Masai
Mara National Reserve according to the easiness of being nicely photographed.
