I am part of an amazing team at work and they have made my trips memorable. I have always wished to get out there and experience life but there was always a reason that prevented me from pursuing that, the lack of money, pregnancy, motherhood, studying and whatever else that placed itself on the top in my priority list. In December 2019, I surrendered to the passion I felt for photography and made the first step towards adventure. We have been to Moremi Game Reserve, went to Khwai and in our recent excursion, we flew to Kasane and spent a night in the beautiful Kwalape Safari Lodge in Kazungula. Of course the trip wouldn’t have been complete without the game drives and boat cruises. For me, it was a mental orgasmic experience because I got to take the pictures. On the morning drive, we saw a couple of birds and a baby crocodile but my lens couldn’t take me close enough. While there, we had to rush to a place where a pride of lions was spotted, unfortunately there were too many vehicles and they moved away before I could position myself for a good shot.
On our boat cruise on the Sedudu Island, the animal sightings were better than in the morning and we saw a few Greater Kudus which seemed too comfortable to pose for the pictures and I was right there, basking in the therapeutic moment. And those horns, my goodness! Trying to fit them into a frame perfectly while observing the composition rules felt like an uphill battle.
Crocodiles are very strange animals in my view but also interesting because if you had watched National Geographic before and saw the aggression and power at which they killed an animal, finding them outside the water makes them look so peaceful and harmless.
The cruise ended on an amazing note for me because I had good company, my camera and I couldn’t have asked for a better tribe. Merry Xmas.🌲🥂
