    Just wonderful. Superb photography.

    To anthropomorphise, the look of sheer joy and satisfaction on the faces of the hippos in the mudbath, is a beauty to behold.

    Love these shots, Mark. Great frozen action in #4 and #6. I agree with Donald re the hippos, they look as happy as ......well, hippos in mud!

    It has been a long time since I have seen a series of photos with this many images when so many of the photos are so strong. A great mix of portraits and animals interacting with their environment.

    Sony World Wildlife Photography Awards 2016 (Winners for 2015 have just been announced). Some of these belong in that company.

    Great set, Mark. You have captured all of the animals in striking poses, but that hippo in #5 is the standout for me.

    Re: A few more African Safari shots

    Dunno what to say that hasn't already been said Mark,

    My favourites are #4 and #6 for their great timing, but all are technically superb.

    Well done with these, Dave

    Mark I assume you work for National Geographic, if not, they should hire you. Great series! - Sam
