Fingerprints

This image was taken at the Mwamba Last Waterhole Hide in the South Luangwa National Park, Zambia, as a group of Zebras came to drink. There was a pride of lions by the waterhole and they were cautious as they came to drink. The lead Zebra had a large rip through its ear which aligned perfectly with its dorsal stripe.

Leopard dreaming

Taken in the South Luangwa National Park of Zambia this intimate view of a male leopard is taken at sunset. He spent about an hour with us before heading off for the night's hunt.

In the wake

I shot this image at dawn from Shenton Safaris hippo hide. This hide is on the bank of the Luangwa River in the South Luangwa National Park of Zambia. The hippos were returning to the river after a night out feeding. This hipo paused at the bank for a long period opening his mouth in display at those in the pod who had already returned. He remained agitated on the the river bank for a good 10 minutes before rushing into the river creating a wake around him. Far from creating the havoc i was expecting he settled into the normal daily repsose (like the hippo behind him in this image) within seconds of his powerful entry.
