Today was our first game drive!  Although it was HOT, I was VERY excited to see some of the animals I’ve been hoping to photograph!

First, though, we had to wake up and leave early so we would have time to explore in Etosha. 

This morning’s early treat was a Yellow-Billed Hornbill greeting us at breakfast.

 
In Etosha, I saw…
Giraffes!

 

 

Elephants!

 

 

 
Zebras!

 

Oryxes

 

Springboks (so many of them – everywhere!)

 

Ostriches

 
Northern Black Korhaans

 

Kori Bustards

 

Waterholes with many terrific animals

  1. I’m going to assume you made use of a telephoto lens. Seriously, these photos are GREAT!!! So glad you enjoyed your trip! Africa does require you to use all your senses – it is truly amazing!

    • Yes! I used a 70-300mm lens on my mirrorless camera, which equates to 105-450mm full frame lens. Thanks so much! I am a novice photographer and had so much fun shooting these photos. I agree: Africa is AMAZING!
