I also took a lot of school trips to the Eastern Transvaal (pre '95) and went to places not always open to the public. Even spent a week looking after a lion cub. A lot of weekens were spent at a number of game lodges in the Warmbaths area in Mpumalanga.

We have been charged by elaphants, Rhino and Hippo's, seen Rhino's fighting and our fair share of "kills".
I still use some of my photos of The Kruger and Namibia to teach geography here in the UK.


Thanks for all the lovely photos.

That Nikon should do fine. Did you get just the kit lens with it?

That's just what the doctor ordered for starting out. It's a good entry level DSLR with a couple of lenses to cover for most occassons. If you just want to take a few snaps it will be fine for years and if you get keen you can add to it. If I remember that one has good video also.

Have a great trip! For difficult shots of game if you use the the HD video you can capture the images frame by frame for photo editing when you get back. For Internet go for a local safaricom sim card as safaricom is tied into Vodafone and gives the best coverage.
