    The young giraffes where out and about on the Kilimanjaro Safari on my last visit. ; The two were born within 4 days of each other last year.

    Here they are following one of the mothers.

    So graceful when loping.

    I set my camera to 1/500th of a second in shutter priority mode. ; The 28-300VR was set to Action VR mode. I requested and got the last seat in the jeep per others suggestion here on TMIP. ; Very bumpy back there but being able to photograph on both sides and out the back is a huge plus.

    Must make sure you hold on to your hats, glasses and camera back there. ; It is rougher than the seats closer to the driver.

    He looked to be running in slow motion if that makes sense. ; Their long legs deceptively cover a lot of ground in a few strides.

    Thank you, Howie! ; Don't have a lot of time on the ride so I have to give a nod to the camera for a smallish aperture for the DOF. ; The layers of the vegetation and the "termite" mounds add to it. ; Another nod to those wonderful Disney Imagineers.
