~ Heading into an all-day game drive, there was a strong sense of anticipation. These images show the first sightings of the day, all observed off of the main track, while driving through heavy bush with scant evidence of previous visitors. The juvenile Circaetus cinerascens, Western Banded Snake-Eagle and the Streptopelia senegalensis, Laughing Dove, were especially valued sightings. Driving on less traveled tracks need not have dramatic predator encounters to be worthwhile, as the sensation of going where few others go is pleasing.
