ropo54 Posted October 11, 2022 Share #41 Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for that note and nice words, Phil. Finally going on the safari was more than 2 years in the making, after covid cancelled our first trip. To say it met my expectations would be an understatement! I can't come up with enough adjectives to describe the thrill of it all. Capetown and Victoria Falls as well, but the safari days were the highlights. If you've got a hankering to go on one, jump on it. Take care, stay safe. Rob Edited October 11, 2022 by ropo54 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! The bottom image of the two giraffes is my overall favorite because it doesn't show the animals with vehicles or man made structures, just the beautiful, lush African landscape with some great light. I think it's hilarious that a couple of the people in your group appear to have armed themselves with nothing more than cell phones. Maybe that's an indication of how good cell phone cameras have gotten. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropo54 Posted October 12, 2022 Share #52 Posted October 12, 2022 Thanks, Brent. I have some terrific shots also taken with the X1D II, but forum rules prohibit posting them. (Several were removed by mods). As for my group . . . everyone was using cell phones. Most people just wanted simple snaps. Optical zoom was fine for them. Maybe its Kruger and the ability to get close to animals? Really, for everyone it was first and foremost the thrill of being out there.

michali Posted November 1, 2022 Share #60 Posted November 1, 2022 Great images everyone, beautifully capturing the spirit of being on safari. It's such a special experience, especially given the rate that humans are destroying the planet. So different to any other from of travel, let's hope that we're not going to be the last generation to experience this. Thanks Mike Mwiba southern Serengeti SL2 & VE 24-90mm multi shot mode.
