Two giraffes walk amongst a herd of animals, illuminated by the sun. MASAI MARA, KENYA: In one image, a 15,000-pound elephant roamed across the grassy plains of Africa as three birds flew overhead, all in stark contrast to the searing orange sun above. In another, two 1,500-pound giraffes and a herd of cattle crossed the frame, marching across the horizon while the sun set behind them. Others showed a lioness pacing in front of herds of zebras and antelopes behind her, birds perched on top of a crooked tree, and a baby elephant frolicking in the grass. These images were taken by photographer Ramachandiran Govindaraj (34) from Coimbatore, India, who captured the images in the Masai Mara, Kenya. The Masai Mara National Park is named in honour of the Maasai people who are the ancestral inhabitants of the area. It is one of the most famous and important wildlife conservation and wilderness areas in Africa.
