Happy New Year! :)
As I was driving west towards the junction of N'wanetse Road and the Tshockwane Road, we spotted this elephant with her new-born calf largely obscured by the long grass. It can't have been more than a few hours old, and was still getting to grips with walking, and fell over at least a couple of times before having to be righted by its mum. Turning on to the Tshockwane Road towards Satara, she decided to cross the road giving a clear view of her baby.

I spotted these Cheetahs near Mopani and they were the only ones we saw during our time in Africa. A spotlight gave just enough light to focus and helped boost the amount of light from the flash, but they were too far away for anything better than this. This was shot at 600mm and heavily cropped.
