Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Kenya, 2019.

It was our last morning in Lewa and we were able to move relatively close to a large herd of African Buffalo, the oft forgotten member of Africa’s Big Five!

After a careful look, one individual in the herd caught my attention.

With a heavy head covered in mud and grass and a tired look in its eyes, I felt this buffalo personified the hard, harsh life on the African plains.
