Cleared for Departure

Safari #2

Elephants are quite smart, and extremely aware of their surroundings.  Most are nonplussed by our presence, though one mail did spit on Rebecca.  

Zebra, with a vampiric bird riding along.  

The bush at sunset is beautiful.  We are waiting for the full moon to rise.

This male Impala just hung out, letting us get very close.

Two young male Impalas play fight, imitating their elders, preparing for the day they will compete for a female.  Impala are skittish, and often regard us with suspicious as we approach.  Little sneaks by them.

A female hyena returns from a busy night of finding food.  Her cubs are relieved to see her.
