walking, as you do during the Walking Safari\u2019s with an armed Ranger at Lake Mburo National Park. These huge, gentle, surprisingly graceful creatures are doing well at Lake Mburo\u2026the herd is healthy\u2026but in the larger context of the whole of Africa the subspecies is in decline, listed as endangered. This used to be the Rothschild\u2019s Giraffe, and is a subspecies of the Northern Giraffe, only found in Uganda (where most of the population resides) and in one park in Kenya. Over the next few days I will be sharing a number of images from our two close encounters with this particular journey of Giraffes. (There are many names for a group of Giraffes in use: tower, herd, corps, journey, totter, and kaleidoscope are just a few of them. Venery (group naming) is an art, not a science. \ud83d\ude42 Sony Rx10iv at 277mm (we were close!) equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
