Zevi Steinhauser of Crown Heights recently returned from a two week expedition in East Africa, traveling through Kenya and Tanzania and visiting the famed Serengeti.
He got to witness some of the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle – the 1.5 million wildebeest migration from the vast Serengeti plains to the champagne colored hills of Kenya’s Masai Mara.
According to UltimateAfrica.com, there is no real beginning or end to a wildebeest’s journey. As of June 1, 2012, it was one of the more tricky times of the year to pinpoint the ‘herd’ as the migration spreads out for the journey north.
During the trip, he and Danny Cole got to visit orphanages where they had a chance to teach, play sports, and take the children out of their compound on a walking Safari outing.
“The children had the opportunity to use our cameras and binoculars, and enjoyed soda and treats we distributed. Their teachers told us later, the kids had the time of their lives,” Steinhauser said.
These pictures are incredible.Ma rabbu, uma Gadlu maassecha Hashem.

I absolutely love these pictures and I’ve always had a passion for animals, especially wildlife animals and to see them captured in images but lately I got even more interested and I thank you for sharing these pictures and not being afraid to post them here! It’s nice to see pictures like these, even on COL!
Thank you!
curious
absolutely amazing world Hashem made
you really captured the life that we don’t get to see much of.. beautiful pictures!!
A refreshing look at animals as they should be – living in the wild, living by their instincts.
What is even more beautiful is that you took off time from your vacations to visit under-privileged children.
Kol Hakavod, you are a true inspiration!
I hope people will learn from you.
May G-d bless you!
These pictures look like they were taken by a professional photographer.
It is unbelievable that you were able to see so much in such a short period of time.
You must have had an unbelievable trip!
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful though… AH

Thanks for sharing this. My daughter loved the photos. I wish there were caption as I didn’t know to name all these animals.
where can we see all of the pictures. I would love to see more.
best time of year to see africa, when it’s birthing season and you can see all the young…”Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?”
…There’s a highway of stars across the heavens
The whispering song of the wind in the grass
There’s the rolling thunder across the savanna
A hope and dream at the edge of the sky”…good verbal description to go with your pics
sooo missing africa!!
Are the ones to be thanked for these photos! Thank you ladies for allowing your husbands to bring us these beautiful photos! (Ok, thank you to the men that actually took the pictures).
These pics are amazing! The animals are so beautiful! My fave is the elephant crossing!

Thanks, it was an incredible trip it clears the body and mind… and gives you a real appriciation for life.
The pictures really capture the beautiful animals!
Its also really nice to see the work that your doing for less fortunate children in developing countries.
Is this part of an organization, or something personal?
Those are some incredible pictures.
