This is my trusty ride, Mary, and me getting across the river on the Masai Mara. What you can’t see in the shot are the family of hippos wallowing nearby. I had to concentrate on keeping Mary straight in the strong current so we could get across the river as quickly as possible without drifting into the jaws of Big Mumma Hippo. Just as well really as it took my mind off what else might be lurking below the surface.
