Duke,
Some more fantastic photos :cam:

What camera equipment are you using? (Body and lense?)

The one Sharifa is not using :tongue:

Look here Yoda

and the canon 500 lens we use on a 1D mark IV.

On the return trip to Lilydaye we did the Kameeldoring and Doornlaagte loops and saw the white rump zebra. I wrote about the breeding project on this zebra here and we may just see the quagga again.

and we only noticed the finer details of photo 2 when processing :roll:

Buffalo

a steppe buzzard

Great shot of the Steppe Buzzard, with the lovely Buffs around, plus another baby! :clap:
