Breeding Herd - Cape Buffalo

Kirkmans Kamp -Sabi Sands Game Reserve

This is an interesting panoramic shot. We followed a very large herd of Cape Buffalo down the hill towards the Sabi river. We crossed the river in an unusual point - very deep and soft. Our expert Ranger Dalson got us to a sandbar in the middle of the river. Having walked several miles to get here, and being a large herd, I thought they would linger at the river. So I started taking a 6 shot hand held panoramic. By the time I was done, they were starting to move out of the river and back up the hill. While not technically a great pano (quite a bit of motion blur, high ISO, flat light) - it accurately conveys the thrill of being near a large herd.
