Oh my gosh! Your safari photos are incredible. You really lucked out in the variety of animals you saw. You must have quite a telephoto - you seemed really close to almost everything. I love your retail purchases as well. All in all, this trip appears to have been a smashing success.
5 years agoI would not hesitate with African Bikers they are very good. No issues what so ever about safety.
5 years agoThanks again for posting this. We think a lot about whether to bike here. We would love to, but feel insecure about it. We may look at your tour organizer.
5 years agoFantastic photos! Are you sure you need a new camera? The impala are very elegant, and I admit I have a soft spot for warthogs - they are so ugly they are cute.

Bob and I have just finished viewing all of your very AMAZING photos. We are very impressed with all of the animals you have seen and the pictures and scenery you were able to capture.
What an adventure and how lucky were you to be the only two on the tour - LOVE undivided attention you must have received.
Congratulations on an extremely exciting adventure. This certainly was the icing on the cake!
These guys look HUGE. Watch out Mr. Spoonbill.

5 years agoWOW! He's looking right at the camera and I think he may be smiling for you. What a photo.
5 years agoWow, you had a fantastic day on safari! In 3 days we never saw a leopard, and our only Cape Buffalo were lying in tall grass among a copse of trees; no way did we try to get very close, given their reputation. And great photos of interesting birds and lizards, thanks for posting them.
5 years agoNice photo!
It took quite a bit of internet searching, but I think this might be a southern tree agama.

Looks like a good match with African glossy starling.
