Crescent Island, Lake Naivasha, Kenya

one of the few places considered safe to walk unarmed (arms are not legal in the Kenyan bush anyway),
we were treated to a short boat ride with a hippo audience, running zebra, and a minutes-old giraffe that was still moist.
Where was mom? She was about 50 yards away trying to lead us to her instead of the newborn.

Nikon d60, Nikkor 18-200mm, available light (and not much to spare)

Yes it was. To walk amongst the wildlife in Africa is a spine tingling adventure (for me anyway).
thanks for your comments.
