Grazing Giraffe, South Africa, 1977

A giraffe samples foliage in South Africa's Mala Mala Game Reserve. Biologist and explorer Mike Fay calls Mala Mala the "Ferrari of game reserves" for its posh, safari-retro accommodations, lush grounds, top-notch management, and abundant wildlife, including lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, wildebeests, impalas, and giraffes.
