Kenya, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zambia – 2008

Mating habits of Simba (lion)
From time to time, in my photo safaris in Africa, we are lucky enough to discover lions mating, and this is always a superb photo opportunity as well as a terrific education. The following photos were made in the Samburu region of Kenya.

May I propose something GNU – Wildebeests as an Object of Beauty. This is a photograph made by Laurie Moore-Moore, one of 10 Explorers (those who come with me on my photo safaris I call Explorers) who came on safari with me to Tanzania, May, 2008. This image was created in a most creative way. [...]

REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE
My experience as a guide and leader comes not just from books, but rather from many years of personal explorations worldwide. I am an active member of The Explorers Club, an organization founded in 1904, with President Teddy Roosevelt. Our members have carried the Explorers Club Flag on many of the historical "Famous Firsts" of world exploration such as: Robert Peary at the North Pole (1909), Roald Amundsen at the South Pole (1911), Edmund Hillary at the summit of Mount Everest (1953), Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh at the Marianas Trench, Greatest Ocean Depth (1960), and Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins as the first on the surface of the moon (1969). In addition, I am an active member of the Adventurers Club of Chicago, an organization founded in 1912. The Adventurers Club flag has been carried to the summit of Mount Ararat and the Matterhorn, in the Amazon jungles and over the Humac Mountains into Brazil from French Guiana, to Antarctica and the length of the Mackenzie River to the Arctic, rivers of the Nile and Congo, river runs of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and El Sumidero Canyon of Mexico, to the "Lost World in Venezuela", the jungles of New Guinea, outback in Australia, on small craft to numerous islands of the Pacific and many other places. In other words, you can feel comfortable and safe with me as your guide because I have been "down the river" many times myself. via Roger Moore Photography Biography.
