Default more from our 1st morning on safari

I think the 1st image is one of my favourites from the trip - but I have a problem as i have four shots of this beauty and really can't decide which will make it to my final cut of 50 images from our trip (nearly 2,500 to choose from) so I'll be using the voting option sometime soon

DSC_0197_2

you can't fail to love a zebra!

DSC_0200_2

I felt just a bit too close

DSC_0237_2

and there were just so many of them

Amazing! Where were these taken?? I love the first one, and there's a monkey beside that zebra which is so cool! I'd be a little afraid of those big (buffalo/bison??) Great shots! I can't wait to see more. Kimi

well I'll try to show as many as I feel comfortable with - already feel a bit uncomfortable - learnt a lot about the world and a lot about photography too while shooting them

Kimi - it was in South Luangwa in Zambia - amazing place & amazing people - plenty to come and loads (probably too many) on flickr. By the way I've missed you - you don't seem to have been on here for ages so hope you have shots to share with us all here

Beautiful shots Sheldon. It is difficult to choose, isn't it? Good luck.

They all ace shots. Shot 4 really shines with a crop on the herd IMO

Great pictures. My favorite is the buffalo one. The picture transmits the animals emotion and thats not easy to get.
congrats and thanks for sharing!
