Three neat shots Reko, the Impala's are very cool looking, what is the significance of the dirt mound in #2?? Nice pose and moment with the elephants, that is some wide open looking country.

The dirt mound in no.2 is the beginning of a termite mound (if im wrong please feel free to correct me).

Very nice shots, always enjoy shots of africa.

Great Series Robert, I liked the male impala's look, although when I was younger I had an impala and the look was quite different .

Cheetahs will climb what they can to get a better view, I guess so they can better see potential prey. They often climb termite mounds over there, they're plentiful even in the grassland, though there's not much wood around. Yeah Garen, my "flehming" posture was quite different in the seventies, and the locale was usually a bar.

These are very nice Reko!!! I like the cheetah shot the most here, the way they are all staring off into the distance is neat! I love expression on the young cub closest to "us" in the frame!!! Nice set!!!

Love that shot of the cheetahs on the termite mound - most very excellent! The elephant shot runs a close second for me.
