BIG 5 Double

A few weeks ago I bragged about seeing the Big 5 twice in 2 days - this time we saw the Big 5 "double" but in various southern African game reserves during a 2-week tour, like this elephant in the Etosha Game Reserve in Namibia . . .

. . . and these two at the Zambezi River close to the Victoria Falls . . .

. . . or this White rhino in the Mt Etjo Private Game Reserve (Namibia) . . .

. . . whereas these two in the Kruger National Park.

I can't remember ever seeing such a large herd of buffalo (ALL the black "dots") on an island in the Chobe River (Botswana) . . .

. . . whereas this "close up" was "shot" in the Kruger National Park.

This leopard is also at home in the Kruger National Park . . .

. . . whereas this one was on the prowl in the Chobe Game Reserve.

To "complete" the Big 5 - a lioness walking nonchalantly along as if blissfully unaware of being surrounded by gawking tourist in open safari vehicles in the Chobe Game Reserve.

Lastly a magnificent lion, which I snapped in the Kruger National Park - BUT look closer: it's a "copy"!! Yes, I cheated, because I snapped a large photo on exhibition next to the shop in the Skukuza Camp :)
