In our safari camp in the Okavango Delta our tent had an outdoor shower. Having used it one morning I turned to see this curious black-faced monkey sitting in a tree a few yards away. #animalpolis #wildlife #wildanimals #botswana #safari #wildlifephotography #travel #wildlife_perfection #traveling #travelphotography #travelpic #lonelyplanet #loves_africa #Africanamazing #african_portraits #okavangodelta #natgeo #nature #natgeohub #natgeowild #natgeotravel #natgeotravelpic #igscwildlife #travelling #natgeoyourshot #9vaga_world9 #instatravel #bbctravel #earthpix

I've finally started putting some effort into using Lightroom. This snap of the sunrise in the Okavango Delta last year is one of my favourites! #travel #traveller #travelgram #travelling #travelphotography #instapic #instatravel #lightroom #canon #canon7d #canon_photography #canon_official #africa #african #sunrise #botswana #okavango #okavangodelta #morning #tia #thisisafrica #gadv #gadventures #overland #throwbackthursday #tbt #wanderlust

A leopard cub climbs a tree branch in the Okavango Delta. Its shy stare shows a naive insecurity and the signature blue eyes of a baby.
