Ladies and Gentlemen, Our friends Roy, Rene, Alan and Leonie are with us here in Dubai for a short visit. Roy and Rene drove around Tanzania and othet African countries last year after we hunted with them. They took great photos, and have kindly given us a few to share here with our members on AR. This first selection is of buffalo, and I will post other selections shortly.

If they just drove around and took those pictures hunting Buff is not going to be as hard as I thought. I like # 7 and #13 in the back. | |||

Excellent Saeed. Thanks for sharing! 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.

Saeed, thanks for posting these. It is just as hard to take a good photo in Africa as it is anywhere else, and some of these are really extraordinary. I especially liked the sweeping views of the Ngorongoro Crater and the many old cape buffalo bulls. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Thanks, I've been on the road in the damp of north east PA for the last couple days, checked into a motel room and WOW the first thing I come to. I can smell them and feel the African sun. Thanks, I needed that! Work hard and be nice, you never have enough time or friends. | |||

The Buffalo pictures are sure to be favorites on this forum. There are some excellent bird photos as well. I for one am real glad to see them. Birds are always an integral part of the atomospere wherever you hunt. I also like to see the different bugs and reptiles. | |||

Thanks for sharing - keeps the blood pumping and the mind on the prize. If you are going to carry a big stick, you've got to whack someone with it at least every once in while. | |||

I was thinking the same thing. What do you think it measures?? Bet it would be in the top 10 and very close to #1. Mink and Wall Tents don't go together. Especially when you are sleeping in the Wall Tent. DRSS .470 & .500 | |||

Immature birds are pretty tough. This one sure looks like an immature one to me. Not absolutely positive but it may be an immature red and yellow barbet. | |||
|

I think it is a crested barbet. | |||

I agree that bird is a better match. You don't see a crest in any of the photos but it could be laying flat. | |||

Though very difficult to say from one picture alone, I would estimate him at around 28-29. A real beauty. From the picture I would say the picture was taken in Tarangire area? Lewis50, The best bird book that covers the region is "Field guide to the birds of East Africa" by Terry Stevenson and John Fanshawe. Available in Arusha at the "Book mark" or "Cultural Heritage" or in Dar at "A Novel Idea" at the slipway. You will also find it in most hotel boutiques around Dar or Arusha.
