kja Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 A few people seemed to want to see some of my Africa photos after I posted the lions in another thread yesterday so I'm popping some up in here. I'll apologise up front - this is going to be yet another on-going thread from me as I honestly haven't even been through all my images yet! And they're in no particular order so there won't be any rhyme or reason to the sets LOL I do hope you enjoy :) warthog snoozing on the lawn outside our room zebras in the morning smoke lioness beginning her hunt leopard ignoring us giraffe standing guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Where abouts in Africa? Great pics. Hate seeing giraffes on open planes though :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 We were in South Africa, Botswana and Zambia. Why do hate seeing the giraffes there? They seemed happy enough :) Landing Hippo yawn Mama & cubs Elephant family getting some lion cub cuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KumaAkita Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Love the warthog shot. They are all amazing photos - looks like a once in a lifetime holiday. Look forward to seeing more photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The bird landing on the giraffe is super cool :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I meant the lack of trees and natural space for the giraffes. South Africa is so developed that you can only see wild animals in designated parks. Where you at Kruger? Zambia is different though and you could, in hteory, bump into a lion while going for a walk. We went on a 10 day house boat cruise on Lake Kariba (Zimbabwe) which was amazing because you saw all the animals coming for a drink. We even saw elephants swimming across a channel.

persephone Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Lovely photos .... Lions are def. my favourite .. were the giraffe trying to graze on almost nothing , or at a salt lick?...... Great photo, if a bit sad .... I am very envious of lion cub cuddles!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kja Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 @megan - I didn't get that feel at all, thought there was almost no civilization there, but then, we didn't stay anywhere near the cities for more than an overnight before our next flight. LOL We didn't do Kruger, we were at Sabi Sands while in South Africa. Thanks for the kind words, All! It was a completely awesome trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
