Giraffe

This was one of the few occasions when the perspective looking down on the Giraffe worked. The shot was taken in the Borokalao National Park.

A large bull Giraffe was walking up from the river in Borokalalo making his way towards some big trees behind us which must have looked tasty.

Other hosts can be very big. A small flock of Red-billed oxpeckers do a fine cleaning job on the Giraffe bull’s neck.

There are quite a few Giraffe in Borokolalo. We came slowly around a corner to be greeted by these five Giraffe.

This young female Giraffe had the attentions of two young male Giraffes and quite a few Red-billed Oxpeckers. The shot was taken along the banks of the Chobe River.

Always wait for the Giraffe to flick its head as it gets up after drinking. The water usually makes a interesting addition to the shot.

This young female Giraffe was running away from a waterhole in Etosha and just fooling around by the look of it.

A wonderful scene in Etosha – a gathering of Giraffe.

Driving out of Mashatu around midday these two Giraffe, mother and calf, were resting in the shade.

These two young giraffe blended in with the Mopani tree colouring that it was only when they put their heads up did we see them while driving in Mashatu Game Reserve.
