Best viewed large!

We've now moved from Victoria Falls, in Zimbabwe, across the border to Botswana, and the Chobe National Park. We are very lucky to catch this pride of lion dozing in the sun. I am really pleased with this shot - at the extreme limit of the lens, it turned out much better than I thought it would.
Wonderful detail in these lions even though they are sitting in a shady spot. Very nice!

Great capture. The colors are beautiful and I like the light too.

Been there too! Again never got as good a shot as this, but do have one of a bull elephant charging towards the Land Rover!

I wonder if this is the kind of trip you take often or if this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. . .stunning.

@yrhenwr It's a great place. I'm glad to say we had no bull elephants charging us. That must have been scary.
@lyno Lyn, well, I certainly couldn't afford it every year. We last went to Africa 6 years ago, and had such a great time, we vowed we would have to return. I'm guessing we'll get there again, although I think booking direct is probably on the cards, rather than through a UK agent.
