It seems I could only stray from elephants for one Friday!  Have a great weekend everyone!

2016-04-21: Zebras

When going through some photos today, I took notice of the variety of landscapes that I saw zebras in during my last trip.  From scrubby desert to the vast wetlands of the Okavango Delta, everywhere they seemed to be thriving.  They really are such beautiful animals; I hope you enjoy.

2016-04-15: Feel Good Friday

I thought I’d mix it up just a bit, and post a non-elephant photo for my feel good Friday post.  This leopard definitely looks like she has had enough of the week and is ready for the weekend!

Happy Friday everyone!

A big yawn before this leopard set off down the tree… only to thrill us with climbing another, after a brief pause in front of our vehicle. It is unbelievably amazing to be so close to such an amazing animal.
