    The big 5 still there

    Hi
    I have been away for awhile - have been on a safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro in Tanzania. We were lucky to see the so called big 5. Here is a first glimpse at them:

    #1: African Buffalo

    #2: Elephant

    #3: Leopard

    #4: Lion

    and even #5: Rhino

    It was a privilege to see them all.
    C&C as always welcome

    All good ones, Erwin...I love the first one...It looks like they are singing acapella style..
    I will guess on #2 -- there is water there for the Mom and child to drink into...
    Uh oh...#3 thinks you are just the right size and yummy-ness....
    #4 is a beautiful shot...and pose and composition.
    In #5, you mentioned the rhino but I like the inclusion of the ostrich and zebra on the shot too...there are other animals there too but they don't count much as they are too far away and blurred...

    Binnur, Jim, Izzie, John, Mike, David thank you for having a look.
    @Izzie: Yes they were in a ditch with fresh water - they did enjoy it.

    All excellent, but that buffalo with his bird-choir is memorable.
