| Really cool pics!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling

| That's great. When I was in the Omay we ran into a herd of over 200 animals. After hearing about how scattered that they were there, it was a fantastic sight.

| Someone like DSC would do well to support this success story. For the most wild Africa is collapsing but those who reclaim and rejuvenate should be rewarded or encouraged.

| I thought this thread was going to be about Saeed's total number of buffalo kills. |

| Andrew,
Fantastic pics. Hope they inspire your son's paintings. Some of my best photos, in my opinion, are buffalo through the dust of a departing herd. Waiting to see his next painting. |

I feel the same way to some extent.

| We were hunting in the Selous on a great consession with Saeed and his group, and hadn't seen a Buffalo in 3 maybe 4 days, and some complainging camp began..Saeed stepped in and graciously put a stop to the nay sayers, telling all if we went the whole hunt without seeing a buff then so be it, that was hunting..The next day we walked out on a point and a huge vuga ( grass covered valley) looked like black tics on a dog..the valley was simply covered with buffalo as far as the eye could see, the rest of the hunt was outstanding and we shot a lot of buffalo that year. I had seen a lot of buffalo in my life, but I think that was the most, I guessed over a thousand but really have no idea. The migrations up North is something to behold but Ive only seen that on TV. I suspect the pictures were in that area whan the buff come out of the park onto the Masai Mara.
