Grassland Sentinals captures the beauty of the Angolan Giraffe, an animal we frequently encountered during our self-drive adventure through Botswana and Namibia. We often spotted them gracefully navigating the open grasslands. Despite their immense size, giraffes possess a remarkably fluid and elegant movement, a result of their unique "pacing" gait where both legs on one side of their body move forward in unison.

It's heartening to know that these gentle giants are thriving, their numbers increasing in places like Etosha National Park, thanks to dedicated conservation efforts. This piece celebrates their quiet majesty and the success of conservation efforts.
