A favourite source of food for Lions, a buffalo has enough meat to feed a pride of lions for several days. Buffalo are far from defenceless however and have a strong set of horns which are capable of causing serious injury or death to any lion that gets in their way. Buffalo also trample predators (or humans). Lone male buffalo are regarded as one of the most dangerous animals in the African bush as their strength is only matched by their bad mood and they have been the cause of many human deaths. The birds that can be seen on the buffalo in some of the photos are Oxpeckers which eat the ticks that feed on the Buffalo.

There are two types of Waterbuck shown here - the common waterbuck and the Defassa waterbuck. The most obvious difference between them is the markings on their rear. Common Waterbuck have a ring around their rear ends, whereas on Defassa Waterbuck there is a solid white patch on the rear.

Tree Hyrax are nocturnal and their loud screaming cries are often heard around guest lodges in parts of Kenya but the animals themselves are seen far less frequently.
