Default 1st safari evening drive

We arrived in South Luangwa without our bags so we went straight from the airport onto an evening game drive. although we had been on a game drive in Livingstone nothing prepared us for what we were about to see

DSC_0107_2

DSC_0117_2

DSC_0123_2

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them and if you do there are many more to follow over the next few days

WoW fabulous shots - pity you didn't ring me to see if I wanted me to be your baggage boy.

This must be an amazing experience and with foto skills that you have you can capture some great memory shots and share with us - thanks.

Love that first shot - but all four are A+++++

Cheers, Bernz

I don't think you being there would have helped with the baggage - they refused to take it on the flight - that's Africa for you - you meet their conditions and then they change the rules

Thanks for the A's

Who cares about baggage when you get an opportunity to take shots like these.
Cheers!

What an amazing time you must have had. Animals are so much harder to capture when running free, you must be so pleased with these photos. Can't wait for more.
