Tanzania September 2015

Just a few of my photos from September 2015 - all taken on a private wildlife concession near Tarangire National Park in Northern Tanzania. Critic very welcome!



A Red Billed Hornbill takes flight - he leapt higher than I anticipated, hence cropping the tips of his wing! Canon 7d mk2, Tamron 150-600mm



It's nice that the giraffes are so relaxed around the vehicle that they'll come so close to us to drink water... Canon 7d, Canon 18-135mm



Serrated hinged Terrapin, Canon 7d mk2, Canon 70-200mm f2.8

Dust bath, Canon 7d mk2, Tamron 150-600mm



I love the stance of these two elephant bulls... dark rain clouds already filling the sky - El Nino rains are forecast for next week!!! Canon 7d mk2, Canon 18-135mm



This is one of our resident bulls called Chris... as you can see he is very relaxed, even though I'm sitting on the ground about 3m from him! Canon 7d, Canon 18-135mm

And finally one of me in action.... before people comment on the photo, I've been working with wild animals for over twenty years and every day is all about observing their behavior. You get to know individuals and their moods... and I would never get this close with guests because you don't know how THEY (the humans) will react, lol!
