Felix Odhiambo 'Camau', a Be Kids scholarship recipient, now a professional photographer with Canon at JW Marriott Maasai Mara Lodge. His journey from scholarship recipient to professional photographer is truly inspiring.

The instructions of my excellent teacher, Felix Odhiambo, a wildlife photographer, played in my mind. 'In low light, set ISO to high.' Odhiambo's lessons covered a range of information—the basics of how cameras work, image composition, and shortcuts to access settings. You may point me to a YouTube tutorial, but here you also get tutoring in the field and different cameras to experiment with.

All with my tutor's constant guidance. I photographed birds and herbivores and even found the confidence to capture textures, such as the patterns on a giraffe's hide and the wrinkles on an elephant's back. The moments that will be marked as album favourites, though, are those of cheeky hyenas snatching food from lionesses; of an elderly cheetah... and those unruly jousting elephants.
