The Lodge
The host
The food shot, we ate like that every night. The T-Bones on day one were the best…
Called a Stone Olive, wonder why???
The ladies of the veld
River Cow
Wallace the wondrous Warthog
Lions, I crapped myself, they were 10 feet from the van
This is what they hunted that night, 3 ton giraffe.
This is what they fed.
Cheetah Kill
One Last One, I really liked it… any comments please…
Great pix Mike.
I like the tight framing on the cheetah kill and the stone olive, the light on everything, and the way you can just see the lion in the night shot – I would have shit myself as well.. ;D
The only negative I would add, is the slightly cropped feet of the pig looks a little sloppy.
My favorite shot is the Vultures..

A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
Thanks Lauren, I didn’t take a photo of everything… seen most of it before and some is just plain boring… lol…

Baboon
Inaala’s in camp all day
Kudoo
Impala every where
Squirrels
Rhino, but they were too far away for the camera
Bush Buck
Duiker
Water buck
Crocks
Lots of birdsJust to mention what I can remember…

Thanks David… the Lions were late in the evening, that was shot wide open at ISO400, I bumped the ISO up, but the shutter speed went for a ball of crap…
The pig was tough, he kept bloody moving.
I like the tree too, one of the better ones, cant wait to print it…….
Hi Eric, I am in South Africa, those were shot in a private game lodge with an open fence in to the Kruger Park.
Kena is one great destination, but some of the other “back” countries also make for some awesome photo safari’s… The Concgo jumps to mind, and the Goliath Tigers there would make for some epic fishing…
Zach, Tigers up to 50lbs…
