As mentioned in our private mail, the contrast is a bit high, and needs some adjustment in PS, but over-all you have some great shots! Of this group, I particularly liked "Looking around", but I couldn't choose a favourite. You have, however, given me the urge to see Africa.... as soon as my other planned trips are done! Thanks for sharing!
