At Marabu pan, Savute. Chobe national park, Botswana.Time
At the end of the day, just before sun was setting.Lighting
Most people know this is the best moment to make more exciting pictures and also animals get active as well at the start of the evening in hotter areas while keeping low the rest of the day.Equipment

Nearly, just the usual brightness, contrast, saturation stuff.In my camera bag
2 Canon DSLR's, a tele zoom, portrait lens and 2 wide angles. Lots of cards and batteries.Feedback
Make use of a safari company and guide that understands photography as well.
