| The photos are 1800 pixels wide, which is relatively small by modern computer screen resolutions. My laptop is 3200x1800. |

| Thanks for taking us along. I look forward to this trip each year. Saeed, you amaze me with your photography. As a bug guy, the insects and spider photos have me mesmerized. Bfly
Work hard and be nice, you never have enough time or friends.

| In the picture of Saeed's back taking a photo with all the buff in the background - look at the buff just above his left shoulder - I would think that buff would get shot. !!!! |

| I shot a hippo for lion bait, and a waterbuck. Apparently Walter shot an impala and a warthog. I say apparently because we came late, and getting anything comprehensible from Walter is rather hard. Will have to confirm it tomorrow. |

| We are having an afternoon break today. In the morning I shot a kudu and a wildebeest. And Roy shot a wildebeest. Took us quite sometime to recover them, arriving back to camp at 2:30, so decided to just relax in camp. |

| Some nice trophy's... Missing Walters trophy pictures?

| Nice kudu and wildebeest. It always amazes me that whenever you get done skinning an animal in Africa the surrounding trees and sky are FILLED with vultures.

| Apparently, that is not Walter sitting behind the buff this time. Terrific reports, interesting wildlife, bugs and birds and great photography as usual. I particularly enjoyed Walter's version of the Romans short sword. Thanks so much, D.

| Another set of excellent photos,Saeed. I wonder what would be the option if those buffaloes looking at Saeed taking the photos of the buffalo shot decide to charge/stampede. Best- Locksley,R

| Good friends, good food, good country, good sport! Walter does a great job of BBQ as long as someone else picks the meat! Was Saeed using a cape buffalo patty, lightly covered with sand, for a pillow at his noon siesta? Definitely a buffalo fanatic. |

| I shot a buffalo and an impala today. Saw an enormous eland bull on the way to camp for lunch, but the wind was not good. Went to look for him in the afternoon without any luck. |
