An old but memorable encounter around the first corner from my camp. We actually headed back to warn a walking group that was heading out. D700 80 to 200 f 2.8 170mm 1/600 f2.8 iso 200 -0.67 EV E. Africa photo safari

Some young giraffes practice fighting. I came across this group less then one minute from my camp. I barely had time to shot and only managed to get the one frame before they stopped. Out of all my safaris this is the only group of 3 I've seen entangled like this, mostly its just 2 males...

I dont post too many zebra images from my safaris as im more focused with heading to see the big cats. However, sometimes I come across an interesting composition thats worth a frame or two and make a point to stop. D850 200 to 400 f4 310mm 1/640 f4.5 iso 220 Africa photo safari

Got quite a number of shots of this full belly leopard (See previous posts) this was one of the last few frames before it disappeared into the bushes. D850 200 to 300 f4 400 f6.3 1/800 iso 720 East Africa Big cats photo safari

One of my favorite Elephant shots due to the highlights and light which is quite unusual from the usual scenes I come across. Part of a series of three D850 200 to 400 f4 260mm f4 iso 360 1/640

Managed to get a nice angle on this lioness. A few distracting elements but it still takes me back to the moment. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm f4 1/1000 iso200 oct 23 photosafari

This chap was quite happy to offer a ride in exchange for some free tick removal by the ox pickers. They do however also up wounds which isnt such a good thing. I got a few shots with the birds in flight as well, could have done with a brighter day had to push the iso. D850 200 to 400 f4 380mm...

Going through my old giraffe safari files and came across this one with a mum and daughter. Quite happy with the angle and lighting which is often an issue with giraffe portraits. D810 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/800 f5.6 iso 100 oct 2014 photo safari

I noticed a lot of commotion within the group. Fights kept on braking out started by one elephant. You will notice it trunk is damaged, it actually leaks quite a bit and must be causing major pain which likely translated into more aggressive behavior hence the fights. D850 200 to 400 f4 240mm...

A solo male wondering around the savanna. Don't actually see this too often, he looked quite healthy as well. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm f5 1/1250 iso 400
