South Luangwa also provided our first close-up look at Giraffes
(Giraffa camelopardalis), which we'd only seen from a
distance earlier along the Zambezi.
This mother and calf were part of a herd of about a dozen we spotted
near the start of a late afternoon/dusk game drive.  Most of the
herd dispersed into a stand of trees as we approached, but this
pair were more curious.
