Really cool pictures there Redline. Looks like there was some pretty harsh light to deal with, but you've made some nice captures. I especially like the giraffe's head cocked to the side.

If that is a preview then I'm looking forward to the main even. Some nice captrues there Redline.

Some great shots there :) Agree - the giraffe is a ripper.

Looking at the bus with the Zebra, looks like they pack them into those things! Bet you're glad you were out in the open!

Wish I could have made it down for this one - did consider it carefully, but already had the camping trip organised. Maybe next time :)

Will be interested to see some reports showing what lenses were used in the various shots :)

Some great shots in there Redline, was great fun eh? My favorite out of that quick snippet would probably be #14 (can't remember the species other than it was some type of Antelope, maybe an Indian Antelope?) Nicole, can you remember?

Cheers,
Mudder

Nice one Thai. My favs are the rhino wallowing and the giraffe. Can't wait to see more.

I think you're right Mudder. Indian Blackbuck Antelope - except the male is not black yet.

G'day,
Don't mean to pinch your thread Redline (sorry mate), but though while I'm getting some pics and an account on pixspot ready, I couldn't resist putting this up... Seems PlatinumWeaver and an Emu seemed to catch each others' eye ;-) Couldn't tear 'em apart :lol: The Emu then started nibbling on PW's arm, twas such a "touching" moment :lol:
Cheers,
Mudder
