Welcome -- what a great way to introduce yourself! Excellent set and it's hard to choose a favorite, but mine is #7 -- the third of your gorilla portraits. The hippo/zebra shot is a humorous juxtaposition. And the honey badger don't care. (Inside joke for those who've seen the silly video.

)

Looks like you had a great time. Love that hippo shot. Can't wait to see more from your trip.

snappychappy · 03-16-2012, 09:48 AM

Some fantastic images there, you should be very pleased with those, love the leopard in the tree image.

sealonsf · 03-16-2012, 11:24 AM

We might have been there at the same time. I really wanted to see the gorillas too but we just couldn't manage it. Lucky you! Also love your hippo shot. Can't wait to see more. That might be one of the same leopards I saw. :-) Fat and happy leopard lying in a tree. I'll have to take a look at my photos to see if the tree is the same. And welcome!

RobG · 03-16-2012, 05:50 PM

Wow! Great shots - my vote goes for the hippo as well. I hear that they are one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.

Den · 03-16-2012, 05:58 PM

Must've been an awesome trip!
Great shots. Really like the look on the gorilla. Yes that hippo one is something too.

**jford** · 03-16-2012, 06:25 PM

Some really incredible shots - but I like the honey badger best - for its scarcity - don't see them too often.
Like the baby and mother elephant a lot, too.
Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic series of shots.The Hippo and the Chameleon pics are the stand outs for me,but to be able to take these shots must have been real enjoyment for yourself.

SandraDee · 03-19-2012, 06:04 PM

hippo-Serengeti, .baby gorilla-rwanda and the African children are my favorites.
