Recently got to spend a week in Kruger while on vacation in South Africa. What an amazing place.

Thanks! Didn't even realize a bird was in the shot until looking at it on the camera afterwards.

Awesome photos! Seeing the African Wild Dog live and "in person" is a thrill of a lifetime.

Yes it was rainy season although it didn't really rain that much while we were there. I took a 5d3 and a 1d3 for bodies. For lenses I had a 100-400 and a 24-105. Most of the shots are with the 100-400.

What a great vacation. Love the photos. The one with the giraffe and the setting son in the background is my favorite.
That elephant looks very menacing. How close was he?

He walked right up next to the truck. Just at the point that we were getting nervous and about to drive off he walked away.
