2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Giraffe, Okavango Delta, Botswana
Perfect Light

Species: Giraffe | Location: Okavango Delta, Botswana

A giraffe leisurely makes its way home at dusk across the backdrop of the setting sun, in Botswana's Okavango Delta.

Our February 2016 trip to Botswana presented the opportunity for twice daily photography pilgrimages to try to capture wildlife silhouetted against the rising or setting sun. This photo, at sunset in February 2016, was one of my favorites from Botswana on this Natural Habitat trip.
