Helena Kristel, Hippos of Chobe (Wildlife and Animal 2017)

The hippos of Chobe River at Chobe National Park in Botswana were both scary and thrilling. I was in heaven watching them, their presence, interaction and size, captivated me and I was in awe of these magnificent animals. I was so pleased to capture them a number of times and particularly loved photographing their interaction.
