Cape Buffalo, North Luangwa National Park, Zambia

Species: Cape Buffalo | Location: North Luangwa National Park, Zambia

On a walking safari in the South Luangwa National Park, we came across this herd of Cape buffalo one late afternoon. Our eyes were peeled on the sinking sun, a white hot fire ball slathered in a cadmium orange haze, when someone noticed silhouettes. “Buffalo!” The herd panicked and stampeded, kicking up a sepia-tinged dust storm.
