๐Ÿฆ“ Quiet power.
Thereโ€™s something timeless about a zebra in profileโ€”every stripe a fingerprint of the wild.

This moment was captured under the mid-morning sun in Akagera National Park, Rwanda. The zebra paused just long enough to give me this side-glance before it disappeared back into the golden grass.

Symphony of the Savanna
A rare stillness in the wild โ€” a zebra meets my gaze as giraffes wander silently in the background, while impalas bask in the golden grass. It was as if nature orchestrated this composition herself โ€” every element in harmony, every species at ease.

๐Ÿ“ธ Behind the scenes: This moment came together in an instant. I was tracking the giraffes when the zebra stepped into the frame. I didnโ€™t move โ€” just clicked. One frame. One breath.

๐Ÿ— Hidden in plain sight ๐Ÿ—
A sounder of warthogs makes its way through the tall grass, blending effortlessly into the golden landscape. These resilient creatures may not be the stars of the savanna, but theyโ€™re tough, fast, and full of personality.

๐Ÿฆ A Rare Encounter in the Wild ๐Ÿฆ
Hidden in the tall golden grass of Akagera, a Black Rhino quietly watches โ€” alert, powerful, and nearly invisible.
These critically endangered giants are solitary and shy by nature, making every glimpse a rare privilege.

Once extinct in Rwanda, black rhinos have been reintroduced thanks to dedicated conservation efforts. Seeing one in the wild is more than just a sighting โ€” itโ€™s a symbol of hope. ๐Ÿ’š

Spotted this massive beauty just barely breaking the surface โ€” a hippo calmly watching the world go by from the safety of the water.

Hippos are known for their size and power, but itโ€™s their quiet presence that makes moments like these so striking.
Bonus: A curious little water thick-knee stood nearby, like a loyal lookout. Nature always pairs things in the most unexpected ways!

An amazing scene, indeed. One can only hope that the planet will heal after we've removed ourselves.
@LeadingLines Yes, everything given enough time will heal.
