The story behind the image
For most tourists, their personal adventure begins when flying into Africa. Isn’t it exciting to sit comfortably in your seat in the airplane and know that you will be in one of the awesome National Parks just 24 hours later, surrounded by unspoilt nature?
Despite having been twice to southern Africa before, we felt exactly this excitement on our flight from Munich in Germany to Johannesburg in Soth Africa. We were in for a well-planned trip that would bring us to Kruger National Park and Mapungubwe National Park in South Africa, to the Okavango Delta and the Chobe National Park in Botsuana, and to the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. A trip of a lifetime.
And this was the first image of several thousand photos shot during that trip.
