Zambia Safari
Posted By: woodworm, 08-08-2009, 10:16 AM

Hi everyone.

We were recently lucky enough to travel to Zambia on safari, we spent 3 days near Victoria Falls, Livingstone before traveling to South Luangwa National Park and then on to the Lower Zambezi National Park.

Hope you like ...

These are great. The portrait of the giraffe is priceless, and the zebra sunset is just brilliant.

Very nice series. I like the zebra-in-sunset shot very much, but there are more wall hangers...

I too enjoyed the series. Very well done, especially the zebra one with enough details against the bright sunset. Didn't notice the bird was sitting on the back of the impala.... wonder if the shutter click might have startled it a bit, otherwise could have been a sharper image (correction: it is sharp enough on the head - just the DOF). Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful shots, all of them. I really needed more coffee this morning, though - my first reading of the thread title was "Zombie Safari"... "<moaning> Unnnnnnggghhhh, zeeeeebraaaaa braaaaaains....</moaning>"

Then the actual words made it into my brain...
