Single-Day Series: Okapi (June 25th)

They aren't kidding when they call the okapi the ghost of the forest. I have ridden Kilimanjaro Safaris so, so many times. Dozens upon dozens of times. I cannot begin to tell you how hard it is to get a decent shot of an okapi.

And yet here (s)he is, smiling, having a nosh. Acting like it's no big deal as we drive by and our driver tells us, for the umpteenth time, that they might look like zebras—but they're actually the closest living relative of the giraffe.

Taken near sunset at 400mm handheld in a moving vehicle, f/6.3, shutter speed 1/640, ISO 6400.
