Weekly Photo Challenge-Night-Time

My contribution for this week’s challenge…

Night Time

~~~~~

While on our recent safari we had some nocturnal visitors in our camp.

(making it difficult for the operator see what was in focus),

and you can just make out these impala.

The tap was only a few feet from our tents

and used for cleaning teeth, water for kettle and so on.

The ablutions block is another twenty metres past Shenzi.

 In every group there is someone who is a bit shy.

hippopotamus and elephants track,

it was no surprise when this gentle giant politely

made its way around our camp

to avoid disturbing us.

But what a thrill it was to see these animals.

  4. Thank you so much for the ping back! I love your entry, especially the owl giving you the hairy eyeball! 🙂 I can’t believe an elephant walked right pass your tent…we used to go camping with our daughters but never had such an imposing visitor!
