I've posted a couple of pictures of my stay at Zimanga private game reserve before, but there are still many left. Ones that I personally really like.
A stay in the overnight hide is spectacular. Maybe not even for the sole purpose of photography (although every peace of equipment we had was set and ready to go; as were our nerves.. :-)) but maybe even more for the sheer experience.
Imagine spending the night underground. Your vision is narrow and more and more you rely on sound. Your ears pick up the tiniest of noises. You just know that there are elephants around you: branches breaking, chewing molars, rumbling stomachs, the occasional trumpeting call, but you can't see them.....
You wait and wait ... for hours. You just can't go to sleep because any moment now they can come into view..
And than there is that one magical moment....
He didn't stop, but just ran on towards something very interesting out of our viewing range. But just there and than, your heart skips a beat...
