I have recently returned from a trip to Kenya and Tanzania and thought I should post some pictures to share with everyone. I have not posted for a while but this trip has been so inspiring that I thought I should get off my lazy chair and do it! So here it is and I hope you will enjoy it.
[Technical note: For this trip, only micro4/3 cameras - Olympus EPL2 and Panasonic GF3 - and an Olympus XZ1 were used.]
