Bat-eared Fox at Great Rift Valley

The Great Rift Valley's savannah grassland & scrubby bushveld, framed by the escarpments & volcanic peaks of this vast tectonic trench, provide the open terrain favoured by the Bat-eared Fox. Photographers joining the Wildlife of Shompole Wilderness holiday in October have the chance to encounter this distinctive species against the backdrop of Kenya's soda lakes & acacia woodland. The wide, unbroken sightlines across the Rift Valley floor make it an especially rewarding setting for capturing this fox in its element.
