I have just returned from hosting a photographic safari to a place that is cemented more and more firmly as my favourite piece of African wilderness after every visit. This place is called Mana Pools. I have photographed the iconic elephant bulls of Mana doing this neat trick to reach the high branches of the Albida trees repeatedly for the past 3 years, and I never get tired of seeing them do it.
I framed wider for the context here, the forest environment which makes you think they were actually of the subspecies African Forest Elephant as opposed to the African Bush Elephant (which they are). I was testing out the Nikon Df paired with the new 80-400mm for this safari, and I quite liked this combo for use on walking safaris - yes this image was captured on foot... Techs: Nikon Df Nikkor 80-400mm VR-II @ 120mm f6.3 | 1/500 SS | ISO-3600 Morkel Erasmus
