OldNog 432 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Im off to South Africa for 3 weeks in september. My best mate isa fulled trained guide and runs his own wildlife photography business out there, so i get the whole 'safari' experience away from the tourist trail and also visiting a few places that arent open to the public such as a nursery for orphaned lion cubs. Plenty of time for photography, fishing and a bit of shooitng. Nice pics! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where are you heading? ATB Thats the course my mate did, he did his level 2 though and is working on his level 3 i think. We are going to spend the first week or so traveling around the farms he runs his photography coruses from, mainly around the waterberg area and hoedspruit. He knows some people that will let us shoot some baboons which are pretty much taking over the farm and for a few rand shoot an impala. The last part we are renting a lodge in Marloth Park right along side Crocodile river and spending alot of time in and around Kruger. I literally cannot wait. When i met my mate he hand not long nmoved here from Zimbabwe and told me i would end up going to africa with him at some point and he wasnt wrong haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matt101 115 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 lucky lucky guy! im planning on going back when im finished with my degree (not long) and hopefully ill be able to get some work out there. The game reserve i stayed at in SA was called karongwe about an hour away from hoedspruit. Yes lot of troublesome baboons around, i saw some huge male chacma babbons with very impressive canines!
