Species: African Elephant | Location: Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe

By Richard Nickel

As we stopped to watch the sun set all the pieces came together for this silhouette of an elephant. The setting sun created a beautiful glow on the Great Zambezi river and I was able to get into position to create this image. This is my favorite image from Mana Pools National Park on Nat Hab’s Hidden Jewels of Zimbabwe safari.
