    Some very cool photos Rick. I see you also felt a small stick would defeat a lion cub. Where those tents out in open where wildlife was free to come up to them?

    I've got to say that it is crazy that I LIVE in South Africa, yet I haven't even seen most of those animals that you guys did on this trip! I've looked at a few of the photos, but will take a closer look when I finally finish exams on Wednesday!!!

    The photo with the tents in them was take on the edge of Kafue National Park at the south gate where there are no barriers at all. We were 70K from the nearest road and in the middle of nowhere. It was fantastic.

    At Mana Pools where the sun rising photo' and the heyna photos were taken there was nothing seperating us from the animals. The first night an elephant came up from the river and walked about 30 metres away from where we were sitting around the fire. The 2nd night Hippo were grazing about 10 metres from the tents and heyna were around us all the time. The night vision monoculars that I got were great!!
