African Trip Photos

My mom's friend went on an African Trip (Kenya and Tanzania) during the last 10 days of August. Just before she left for her journey, I told her about the infamous Battle at Kruger video that was first aired on YouTube a couple of months back (even though it was shot in 2004). [ YouTube Link ]

The chances of an incident like the Kruger Battle happening is like once in a 100 years - let alone capturing it on video. But then, in 10 yrs from now, Google would probably be recording everything happening on earth on every centimeter square ! Google for incidents !

I told my mom's friend to capture whatever and how much ever possible - to look for possible signs of attacks etc. Well...unfortunately nothing really happened, though there were times where something was about to happen but aborted sooner than later.

Anyway, here are some really nicely shot snaps of African Wildlife.

The 2 cheetahs are hunting for something else in front of the giraffe !






Zebra Crossing !


Definitely not hunting to be walking on the path of car tracks !



Even the Hippo's skin ain't think enough !


This is my favourite !
A strange blue-red chameleon (?) on the edge of a rock surrounded by big bones !


This is in a cage


Flamingos


Bambis




Excellent looking colourful bird. Wish I knew the name of the species.


No closeups of the cute little cubs !
Budget digicams have got to increase their zoom power to much more !
