Naks, will you just stop? Will you stop sending photos of amazing wildlife, beautiful views, warm, sunny weather, the expanses of the wild, open air, fresh air, freedom, a road trip in your Defender. It's JUST. NOT. FAIR. Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Great photos Naks Thumbs Up

Not the sort of photos you would get travelling the byways of Norfolk.

What kind of camera / lenses set up do you use?

My trusted 13-yr old Nikon D40, with a brand new Tamron 18-400mm zoom lens.

not the best combo, since the lens is not fully compatible with the D40 and thus only shoots at max aperture, but still, not bad. --

They are not bad photos, Naks. Even with the lens limitation 👍

You could always add some of your own views Grenadier, the Alps are probably looking stunning currently and between you we could all be envious Bow down Ride like you stole it!!

Not something you see everyday: we witnessed this buffalo giving birth on our final game drive during our recent stay at Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge, rounding off an amazing bush vacation!

Wow. That is something. Given how lucky you are with everything else you get to see, the risk is it can become normal. This reminds you how amazing nature is.

The ‘not something you see every day’ that we get here in the Alps is at most a tourist properly attired for the mountains. Probably rarer than what you witnessed. Whistle Monsieur Le Grenadier
