This is the second batch. 1 & 2 are Masai Mara, 3 is Lake Naivasha and 4 is Mt Kenya Hotel by the waterhole. In 2, I think some are Rueppells griffons but, apart from the Marabou, the vulture in the bottom left looks different.

I think 4 could be a white-eyed slaty flycatcher.
Others, not sure. Any ID help gratefully received.

3 looks to be a Spur-winged Goose.

And 1 is a Common Bulbul or whatever name Pycnonotus barbatus goes by locally (Dark-capped Bulbul?) I'm not up to speed on status of African races of these.

That third picture backdrop looks like a scene from the wildebeest migration..
Amazing how that natural event http://maragates.com/masai-mara-wildebeest-migration is well coordinated
