Bucket list - SAFARI in SOUTH AFRICA in 25 pictures
I believe that doing a Safari in Africa is something that is included on every traveler's bucket list. What's not to love about the mix of adventure + animals living in their natural habitat.
I started my safari in South Africa at Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre with a guided tour of their large preserve. Next it was on to one of the largest game reserves in Africa - Kruger National Park, for a self-drive safari. I then visited the Ado Elephant National Park close to Port Elizabeth, followed by a Private Game Reserve with a guide.
The safaris were an amazing opportunity to observe the animals in their natural habitat and see families of animals together; the relationship between the same and different species; animals hunting and eating their meals, or simply resting under the shade of a tree. Enjoy some of these moments captured by my lens.
I shot everything with my Canon 70D using a Canon 70-300 mm DO IS USM lens to get up close without disturbing the animals (or becoming a morning snack).

Paula these are genuinely some of the best safari pictures I have ever seen. Absolutely eye-popping. I love that water buffalo picture; I can feel his emotion through his facial expression. I cannot wait to do a safari. So much fun. Fabulous job on this post.
