Savanna Walker by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Visiting Serengeti National Park is a dream of every Travel Photographer. I had the chance to fulfill my dream in September 2011 and took part in the small expedition with my friends around Serengeti and Ngorongoro districts. The photographs taken during this trip set a big step into direction of my Photojournalism journey. I understood there for the first time in my life what is my goal in photography in general. I decided to register reality as it is.
