2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

White Rhino, Greater Makalali Private Nature Reserve, South Africa

Species: White Rhino | Location: Greater Makalali Private Nature Reserve, South Africa

We barely had time to snap this photo as several vehicles surrounded the mother White Rhino and her calf. This really upset me as I believe that the guides should respect the wildlife and keep the vehicles to a minimum in order not to disturb the animals. We purposefully chose a private reserve to avoid this, but the guides were always on their radio trying to tick off the Big 5 for their guests - this is not the way a safari should be conducted, you should enjoy every creature you encounter and give each one your focus only when it does not disrupt the animals daily life.

I am just beginning to learn more about photography, the main reason I love photos is to capture memories. I also love to share the photos I have captured to entice them to travel the world.
