"The brown-hooded kingfisher. Sitting in a hide can be very testing as you can't expect action all the time. I was sitting alone at this time and there was a patch of two hours where nothing was happening! I was just relaxing in the hide when, all of a sudden, I heard a big splash and I just knew that the Kingfisher has arrived. I immediately focused on a part of the water where I thought he would jump in again. On manual focus, I changed the f-stop to f/7.1, ISO to 500 and aperture priority gave me a shutter speed of 1/3200. This was shot on a D850 with a 70-200mm NIKKOR f/2.8" - @zali_photo#RhinoAfrica #RATakeover #brownhoodedkingfisher #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #nature #amazingafrica #birds

"Cheetah peek-a-boo. I love the lighting in this photo. We got to follow three brothers around as they marked their territory. Moving around a dense area, it forced us to wait for the right moment to take a photo. I like the story this photo tells." - @zali_photo#RhinoAfrica #RATakeover #cheetah #wildlife #photography #nature #wildlifephotography #amazingafrica

"Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. To me, females throughout the animal kingdom epitomise resilience." - @zali_photo#RhinoAfrica #RATakeover #lion #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #nature #amazingafrica

"This is the Pied Kingfisher, one of my favourite birds to sit and observe. Here I was sitting in a submerged hide in Madikwe. Many hours went by without anything happening at the hide, but to capture moments like this, you have to be ready to make it worth it." - @zali_photo#RhinoAfrica #RATakeover #nature #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #piedkingfisher

‪“A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, bloody rag, hung over the spot of it’s going.” - JohnSteinbeck. #sunsetsunday ‬. #RhinoAfrica #sunset #africa #amazingafrica #travel #safari #luxury
