Guy Combes encountered this mbogo mkuu (chief buffalo) at a wildlife sanctuary near
his home at Soysambu in Kenya. By the lake, among the reeds, is where the old
buffalo bulls go when they’ve been ousted from the herd. “You sometimes see them
in pairs or on their own,” says the artist, “but when they’ve been ejected from the
herd they tend to be very defensive and aggressive.

“In addition to the attitude, the buffalo has evolved his fearsome horns. Buffalo are
primary prey for lions and to bring down a full-grown buffalo usually takes up to
three or four lionesses. To be able to fight off three or four large lions, a
buffalo needs some ammunition.”
