Mount Kenya's jagged peaks • According to recent updates from the @mountkenyatrust, wildfires have reignited in the moorlands of the Sirimon route. A third of the park's moorlands has already been lost to fire, so hopefully this latest blaze can be contained, with the help of @tropicairkenya @kenyawildlifeservice and the Kenya Forest Service. • #kenya #mountkenya #africa #mtkenya #mountain #trek #trekking #hike #hiking #wild #climbing #magicalkenya #mountainclimbing #travel #travelpics #landscape #view #goingplacesafrica #nature #naturephotography #whyilovekenya #canon #africageo #natgeoyourshot #wanderlust #adventure #passionpassport

In a couple of days we'll be heading to the Mara Triangle for the long Easter weekend. We'll be roughing it for two nights at a public campsite before spending a night at the Mara's oldest establishment, Keekorok Lodge. Fingers crossed for more epic lion sightings! • #kenya #lion #lionkill #africa #africanamazing #safari #africageophoto #natgeo #africanimals #wildlife #natgeoyourshot #africageo #goingplacesafrica #wild #magicalkenya #explore #canon #canon_photos #wildlifephotography #igkenya #nature #travel #travelpics #travelblogger #andreasfoxsafaris #earthpix #maratriangle #thegreatestmaasaimara

Continuing our hyena theme from yesterday, here are a few shots of the more elusive striped hyenas at sunrise in El Karama. Striped hyenas are far less sociable than their better known cousins, and typically forage alone or in pairs. They have a distinctive mane down the centre of their backs, which they can erect when threatened to make themselves appear 40% larger. On this occassion, they were pretty relaxed as a couple of giraffes strolled by. • @elkaramaecolodge @elkaramaranch • #kenya #elkarama #laikipia #africa #africanimals #wild #africanamazing #wildlife #wildlifephotography #travel #naturephotography #nature #canon #canon_photos #magicalkenya #travelpics #whyilovekenya #safari #ecotourism #stripedhyena #hyena #goingplacesafrica #passionpassport #natgeo #natgeoyourshot #africageo #africageophoto #explore

How to say 'good morning' in hyena • Spotted hyenas often perform a 'greeting ceremony': standing side-by-side and head-to-tail, each sniffing the private bits of the other. Female spotted hyenas are unlike any other mammals in that their reproductive organs are literally far out. Because they have an enormously elongated clitoris, for centuries people assumed that they were hermaphroditic. No one still really fully understands the purpose of this bizarre genital apparatus, but one theory is that it helps clan members recognise each other, through this elaborate greeting ceremony. Another stems from the fact that spotted hyena society is very female-dominant, and unusually high levels of testosterone during early development could make their genitalia develop in this way. • This series of photos was taken at a den in the @olpejeta conservancy. • #kenya #hyena #spottedhyena #africa #africanamazing #wild #wildlifephotography #wildlife #tembeakenya #magicalkenya #nature #naturephotography #canon #canon_photos #igkenya #goingplacesafrica #africageo #africageophoto #natgeo #natgeoyourshot #travel #travelpics #africanimals #iamanomad #whyilovekenya #animal_elite #adventure #passionpassport #explore
