Great shots. The baby giraffe shot is adorable.

Probably a better location for photography than in the wild. In the wild they A) hide from you (I have a photo of a rhino but it looks more like a rock behind bushes) or B) run away. I have lots of of photos of animal backsides!

They have photography workshop packages there, and you can even spend the night in cabins right next to the giraffes.

I brought my d610 and 70-200 along with me just for this part of the trip, glad i did! But man, wish I had a 300 f/4 and a lot more time to spend there.

I guess on closer examination, probably bugs flying around. Sorry.
