Is it common after a hunt to do a photo safari ? I dont want to do it in a car or something like that i want to sneek up to the animals, and instead of shooting with the rifle take the camera instead ? How does photosafaris work, i have seen long caravans with cars and that is not how i want to do it..Ivan ? Anton | ||

Keep a small digital with a zoom in your pocket, and keep a large optical zoom in your kit-bag while hunting. You should get plenty of opportunities for photos. Remember that animals in hunting zones tend to be much more wary/spooky than do those in Parks which are accustomed to seeing vehicles on a daily basis. Most animals that allow a vehicle to approach within 60-70 yds will spook the instant you set foot outside the truck--or even open a door. Steve "He wins the most, who honour saves.

i am a strong proponent of doing some photo at the beggining or end ...choose carefully the parks and there are many where you can actually get out with a guide .. the best of the best is mana pools , in mana i spend at lest 70% of the time out of the vehicle ...other parks are simply better seen from a vehicle , cats are always better from a vehicle as you can get very close ... places , like mana where there has not been hunting in many many years and where there are commonly walking safaris the animals in particular the elephants are far more relaxed ...

I am going before hand. Hopefully it will calm some of the excitment. Hope to see most of my target species and get a good close up look at how there built. I know they have hides set up where i am going for photography. I hope we can get out on foot some. I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same. | |||

Be aware that what your sneaking up on isn't sneaking up on you. Predators of Africa are not to be taken lightly. As Ivan suggested, carefully choose your photo Guide/PH and most of all, listen to them.
