SaeedI shot a kongoni and an eland today.
You can see the bullet under his skin above the bullets placed outside. It clearly shows how it expanded.

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

Best Regards

RIPThe drone soars with the vultures and eagles. Looks like the curvature of the earth is showing on the horizons.
Weird animal anatomy specimens might be discussed later? No, I do not mean the photos of Walter!

1/2 slamA big dream of mine is to hunt Tanzania. But, short of winning a lottery, it's not going to happen. I get to experience it through your photo's every year Saeed. Thank you.
Hunting is not a matter of life or death....It's much more important

CanuckUnbelievable photos Saeed. I swear they just get better every year.
So nice to see you all having a great time. Makes me homesick! Please pass on my warmest regards to everyone at the camp, even Walter.
Cheers,
Chris

SaeedI shot an impala and a waterbuck yesterday.
Today is our last day of hunting, and we are going to have the shooting contest this afternoon.
I have plenty more photos and video, and will post them after my return.
We all head home tomorrow.

Safari2Great report and photos as always Saeed!
Good to finally see a couple of elephants in that last frame! At least there are a few still around.
Any male lions?
Thanks again!

RIP
Is that, above, a juvenile Bateleur assigned to watch over Walter as totem animal for the hunt? That bird looks like a bored babysitter.
And is that, below, a drone encounter with another raptor of what species with such a big and wide tail? So many amazing photos, thanks.

crbutlerSo did someone shoot the odd horned waterbuck?

FjoldSaeed,
Great photos as always. Thanks for posting all of them.

SaeedWalter, Maktoum and me are finally home.
Roy and Rene are in transit from Dubai to their home in the US.
Pete and Gary are heading home today from Dar.
Alan is busy closing camp, and might need another week to 10 days to finish his season.
We all had an incredibly great safari. Practically everyone knew everyone else, and we all felt like one big family.
We had two young game scouts on their first safari, and they soon got in the spirit of things, and joined the fun.
I am sorry I was unable to answer any questions posted earlier, as our Internet connection was a bit spotty earlier on - and of course lack of time.
Had a few memorable experiences that seem to happen on safari despite all the precautions one takes.
One day we followed a herd of buffalo early in the morning.
Caught up with them feeding through some bush, and some were actually feeding in the open.
The wind was perfect, and we tried to get close to them.
We must have been very good in our stalk, as we surprised a bull feeding on the other side of a small bush barely taller then a man!
We were only a few feet from him, when he sensed our position and took off!
If he had decided to come for us, neither Alan nor me would have had any chance at all!!
He ran off a few yards and stopped looking back.
I took a quick off hand shot at his head, as that was what I could see, and dropped him.
The rest of the herd ran a off into the bush, and another bull stood to look back, and I shot him too.
Great way to start the day, two buffalo down before 8 in the morning.

SaeedI have posted a few videos.
The videos are in 1080P Full HD.
Pl erase right click and save them to your computer.
If some you download videos from the net regularly, I recommend you get INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER.
Works great in speeding up downloads.
22 October 2016, 15:57
EsskaySaeed,
Glad that you had a great safari and we will enjoy it vicariously with you. Looking forward to it. Internet Download Manager is a very good suggestion it speeds up download speeds by atleast a factor of 4.
You photography is absolutely fantastic...as an amateur photographer I am a little jealous
Warm regards

SaeedSaeed,
Many of the photos posted are taken by Rene, Gary and Maktoum.
They are all great with cameras.
We have one member of our team who is totally useless with a camera, and I am not going to mention his name
