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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

My wife and I are off to Tanzania this fall and she would like a bird book on the region. Does anyone have any reccomendations?

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.
