cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Lovely photos. Sounds like a good holiday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gimli 0 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Fantastic - four days camping in the central Kalahari Game reserve and 6 days in the Okavango. It was great getting so close to the Caracal and then seeing a pangolin for the first time. The lion on my profile page was also from the Kalahari - it had loads of porcupine quills in its face from a recent hunt. Was going to southern tanzxania a few months ago but wife broke her shoulder and so we had to cancel, but off to Namibia in July - from the southern namib right up to Etosha. All through a very good but small South African outfit called Endeavour Safaris. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Love the caracal and puff adder, although I'd want a long lens for the snake photo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gimli 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 When they're out in the open like that and dozy because it was the Kalahari winter and bloody cold, then they are so sluggish that as long as you don't get within a couple of metres you are OK. I tried to upload some of the lion, cheetah and wild dog shots but they were all too big to be uploaded. If any of you going to Botswana or Namibia contact Silvia and Mike Hall at Endeavour Safaris in Cape Town. Great couple who run it as a family business and love what they do. That's why i'm using them again to go to Namibia this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
