Zebra, Linyanti Concession, Botswana
I’ll always remember my first trip to Africa back in 1999. I was amazed at how zebras didn’t get any respect. The guides thought that all tourists wanted to see were lions, leopards and elephants. Zebras were far too common to be of much interest. But I’ve always loved zebras — from that first trip in Tanzania to my last trip in Botswana. This one was part of a dazzle (yes, a group of zebras is, in fact, called a dazzle) crossing a river early in the afternoon.
