Kwando pictures - august 2010

http://www.flickr.com/photos/54235440@N08/5025471018/

Just the first handful of them -

Sorry, my photo editing has been extremely slow. A combination of a botched lap top, lots of work in the office and just plain laziness

Shall update more as i keep working on them.

Regards
Hari

Thanks, SV ..... no, other way around: Cheetahs were telling us the joke - "Try keeping up with us, we can walk all day long".

Fabulous photos, Hari. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite, but I particularly like your bird photos and the "hippo hello". Although I've only traveled to East Africa, it's always a joy to view quality photos from other areas of the continent.

You always do a good job of getting the cheetahs on the logs or fallen limbs. The hunting shots really are superb. Those fierce hunters then can be gentle with each other--washing, grooming, etc.

Outstanding set of photos, once again.

Thank you Hari. I always enjoy your photos - they bring back great memories. Seeing the cheetah brothers was the highlight of my visit.

Thanks a lot, One2travel2 ...... not sure if you have seen the Youtube video of the cheetah boys above ...... it's from Kwando Lebala. There is also a part 2 which you will find on youtube.

Regards
Hari
