The top left picture is of me with a pair of cheetah cubs at the Nairobi National
Orphanage. These cubs were rescued when their mother was killed on the Masai Mara. I was
fortunate enough to get an opportunity to interact with them when I went to the orphanage.
The picture on the right shows me in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest where I went on a
trek in search of Mountain Gorillas. In the background you can see a big male silverback
lying down.
The third picture is of the silverback male's face as he was getting up from his rest.
And that's how I spent my summer vacation ;)
