After missing the 2012 Rhino Charge because of family commitments, I wasn’t going to miss this year’s Safari. My first motorsports event for the year brings back many memories.

There were some scary moments for me on Saturday: I’d positioned myself at a culvert to take shots of the cars catching air as they sped past. As each car came hurtling down towards me, caution made my right leg scamper off into the bushes while my left leg stayed put, shaking in fear, until the brutal, grunting rally car flew past, a few inches from my lens.

Here’s some of the shots I captured.
