great shot, you seem to experiense the real african savanah on your trips there, not just soem touristy holiday...you get so close to the animals, and their behaviour seems so natural in your photos

Thank you.
My family and i have been visiting South Africa for many years now and we all prefer to see the animals as free and natural as is possible. Obviously they need to be fenced but most of my animal photos are from reserves that are absolutely massive. Even the smallest are about the size of London, the largest is 'about the size of Wales' as people like to say. Thats the Kruger National Park and is ~19,000km2, massive.
So yeah i try and take natural photos of natural animals doing natural things
