Photo Safari II – guest post by CathyR

As promised in part 1, here are some of the photos I particularly like, and which I hope you enjoy. (Although I'm afraid the resizing for the blog has meant a loss of quality).

Male Kudu

Spotted hyena

Lioness, quite unconcerned by our proximity

A young male lion, climbing the tree just for the fun of it

Baboon

Vervet Monkey amongst the acacia thorns

Panic Lake – tranquil and beautiful for birdwatching

Grey Heron

These buffalo emerged from the undergrowth in front of us.

I love the infinite variety of zebra patterning

I like the way the smallest giraffe is craning his neck to get a good look at us.

Giraffe are so elegant and serene, with such a smooth, pacing gait

I could watch groups of elephants for hours.

Photographs reveal details not spotted at the time – like the birds perched on the rhino's back.
