This was a memorable afternoon, not so much for the sightings, which were pretty ordinary, but rather for the lighting situation. The sun was still high and normally I would not even have bothered to unpack my camera at that time of day, but the approaching storm clouds filtered the light and produced a stark blue sky in the BG creating a unique set of conditions. I wish there were more such kind of days in a year!

I really like the Zebra under the right elephant, may crop out the half Gazelle on the RHS.

Although I completely understand if you're absolutely against this kind of thing yourself, if this were mine I would definitely clone out the half-a-Gazelle on the RH side of the frame; aside from it being a bit of a distraction, I think it's removal would then accentuate further the pleasing tapering-off effect that the larger Zebra (partially obscured by the Elephant's tail on the right) graduating down to the slightly smaller one further to the right of the frame and onto the even smaller Gazelle with it's head down creates.
A minor nit I have to admit, just offering an opinion based on personal preference :^)
Nxai is an area I would still love to visit...
Fantastic
