Great pictures all, but I especially love the Oxpecker on the Buffalo´s head. Fantastic!

7th DAY 2010

 

Morning game drive

 

I stayed 6 nights in 2010 and not 5, like I mentioned in the beginning of this TR.

 

The day before, we had spotted a seriously sick hartebeest. This morning, the vultures were already busy on its dead body.

 

 

Yawning lion

 

 

The same lion, doing stretching exercises, yoga perhaps, before the real action.

End of the TR. Thanks to you all, for your comments and the interest that you show in following it.

Thanks a lot, Michael, your comments are always well appreciated.

I was expecting your question, I slowly come to know you. I do indeed still have some stuff. I think about starting a new topic in the historical reports, that will cover the 9 trips I made to Selinda, a place that I loved, from 1998 to 2007, where it will be a lot all about lions. But it will take some time because I have to make a selection in my slide library, then scan and process the chosen pictures. I came to digital in 2005, and completely to it in 2007. Besides, next month I will go to Africa for 2 weeks, but I do not know yet precisely where.

Thanks to you, Hari, for following it and commenting on it. Selous is indeed a nice destination, so as Ruaha besides. I strongly recommend those two places.

Great and very photogenic trip report. I was sorry we missed Sealous when we visited Ruaha, but you brought it to me instead.

 

I hate to see this report end; but will look forward to the next adventure!

Why does this image make me laugh?

I looked at it, went on, then returned to enjoy it again.

You've captured a humorous special moment.

Top shelf photography!

Just catching up with this trip report - just brilliant. Especially the martial eagle/monitor lizard sequence - what a sight. My stomach's churning a little from the eye-gouging, but its still amazing.
