Thank you Jorgen. It was indeed a unique experience. This short trip was probably the best "new camera test ride" I ever had with puppy leopards, large herds of elephants and giraffes, plus many other animals. :)
rgds,
Andy

Black Rhino, not the best of shots due to the bush, but interesting due to the wounds it shows from some fighting.

wow cool shots guys

I did travel to Tanzania once - that was my best wildlife experience up till then - I need more to add to my collection of course - but hell - there is so much to see and shoot!
I almost have the "Marine Big 5" - whales, sharks, dolphins, seals and penguins; - just missing the dolphins!
