A group trip to the Masai Mara, Kenya with international wildlife photographer Nick Garbutt.

I love Africa, the excitement I feel as I board the plane in the UK is overwhelming. Trying to sleep to help the journey go quicker but it's tough.

My five fellow photographers are from various places in the UK and all have different reasons for coming on this trip. After a long five hour drive to the lodge we are all tired, dusty and hungry but equally enthused about what the week with bring.

At the end of the week we have all experienced the good and the bad of Africa's wildlife. Taken many photo's, learnt much from Nick and have enjoyed each others company. Each time I visit Africa, I learn and experience something new. I come home feeling regenerated and looking forward to my next visit.
