Before going on the safari, I assumed the landrovers would go tearing all over to see any animal spotted. In fact, they are required to stick to the dirt ‘tracks’ that run through whichever National Park one is visiting. Surprisingly, the animals come quite close to the dirt tracks, so it’s usually not a problem getting a good, closeup view of them. How close? .…

4. This shot was taken the next day, at the same campsite, when the elephant came to have a drink out of the water tank. It just lifted its trunk up and into the tank, and drank away as if from some giant glass. At the same camp (which was a very large one), zebras were spotted wandering among the tents, and we were warned not to have any food in our tents as warthogs would rip them down to get at it.
