Many thanks to all who looked. Yes, we are blessed with such a variety of big game right on our doorstep. It's easy to get shots of individual animals but I rather wait for something more unusual. Patience luck are the keywords. In 38 years I have had only 5 Leopard sightings yet some people say

It's very well worth it. I went to South Africa for several weeks in 1998, including a few days in Kruger NP, and loved it. I even have pictures of elephants at, I think, that same spot. Now I would love to go on a walking, boating safari in Okavango. B On 22 Jul 2013, at 01:45, John Francis

A herd heading back into the bush after drinking at the Letaba River. I counted 51 but at least 10 had already climbed the bank on the left so this is quite a big herd. There is a 2m croc on the bank at the lower left. I took the 3 shots in this pano about an hour before the zebras.

I have another K-7 on the way as well. It was cheaper to just replace it than have my ailing one fixed. Next week my K-5 will go out to be fixed. I might have to get an FA 100-300 just to try one out. They aren't all that expensive. If I don't like it I could just resell it. On Sun, Jul 21, 2013
