National parks of Southern Africa
I have just returned from an amazing journey to Southern Africa; this time, I focused my lenses mainly on all creatures great and small. During a four-week trip I photographed the wildlife of six National Parks of South Africa, Swaziland and Zambia.
A great part of the trip was bigheartedly sponsored by Wilderness Safaris who were happy to host me in their Kalamu, Lunga, Pafuri, Shumba, and Toka Leya lodges. Thanks to their well trained, knowledgeable, experienced and patient guides, I was privileged to photograph a variety of African wildlife up close and personal. Actually, too close, some times :)
To see my progress on editing and uploading new photographs of African wildlife, go to African galleries at: http://www.photostaud.com/africa/
This expedition included altogether 16 plane/helicopter takeoffs (and fortunately as many happy landings :) – aerial photography was, therefore, an inevitable part of my daily routine. Helicopter flights over the Victoria Falls and the plains of northern part of the Kafue National Park (Zambia) were especially rewarding.
Contrary to my other journeys, people photography was not a priority during this trip; however, I managed to bag a few interesting pictures of Zambian children in the local villages.
These are just a few examples of photos taken during this trip, many more to come. Come back and check for new additions.
