Gazelles are very often overlooked by tourists and photographers, who are after the more “glamorous” species such as lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, etc… I set off one morning with the intension of taking pictures of these less glamorous species. Gazelles are quite wary as they fall prey to a whole list of predators. Getting close enough to one proved more difficult than expected.
