We were two of seventeen clients on the 17 day Safari from July 12 to July 28, 2007.

We are not professional photographers but “point and shoot” amateurs. We took over 8500 images with three simple cameras, a small pocket Canon Elph, A Panasonic  Lumix DMC-FZ50, costing $490 and a backup Olympus $180 camera. All were used in the automatic setting mode. Thousands of dollars of camera equipment was not necessary.  We obtained over 400 professional quality images. Our difficulty was cutting down to the 400 pictures.

Our accommodations were excellent, far from what we expected. The food was as promised and was good. Our six lodges were very service oriented, clean  and cared for our every whim.  Our guides/drivers were very knowledgeable and had amazing vision, seeing almost invisible wildlife well before we did.

We are seniors and our mobility was never a problem. We were in very rugged areas without any concerns.

The opportunity to see the expanses of this part of Africa and savor the memories and images is the trip of our lifetimes.  We are experienced travelers having visited most parts of the world. This experience topped them all and we cannot wait to return.
