    Hmm, was the 1dmk2n released in 1997 ? :-). Or were you ahead of your times :) ?

    Nice image, nonetheless.

    Incredible moment. I am sure it would have been a gripping contest. Good that you got the eye in the clear.

    Cheers,

    Amazing timing and a moment that is so difficult to see I am sure. We did witness the crossing on two occasions but never did see this. Incredible Ken !!!!!

    Thanks for the comments.

    A crossing of the Mara is an incredible thing to see, but capturing a great or even good image can prove difficult if there is lots going on, I was just lucky with this, others were undoubtedly capturing equally dramatic pictures in different places. The peculiar thing is that in nine days we only saw one Zebra taken, a long way away.

    Everybody should go at least once, but be prepared for crowds:D
