Description
I captured this Cape Buffalo at the Thorny Bush Private Game Reserve in South Africa. The amazing thing was that the ranger drove us into the middle of a whole herd of buffalo - approximately 200 of them. They were all around the vehicle (open) and we could actually touch them, although it is not recommended. It was just incredible to see them that close. I had to change lenses as my zoom was too strong!!! They are regarded as the most dangerous of the Big 5 because of their unpredictability, but this herd was very peaceful and unfortunately no close encounters to report!!! *smile*
Thank you for visiting my gallery and for any comments you wish to make.
