Photographing a hippopotamus out of the water in broad daylight is an opportunity that comes around rarely enough...but coming across 3 of them standing and sleeping on the banks of the Chobe midway through the morning's cruise on the river is pure gold! I am looking forward to showing my guests how to make the most of their time in this paradise again in May.

A stunning image that just plastered a big smile upon my ugly mug

All the best

Nice one Morkel! The three Amigos. I like your vertical choice as it makes the most of the different layers but it would be interesting in a more landscape format too.
