BlankWatching bush TV is always fun, no matter where you are. Sharing campfires with new friends is special, and part ofthe enjoyment of the safari. Below is my favorite, tho.
My friends left my wife and I up on a rocky kopje in Namibia with instructions to enjoy the sunset on our anniversary. This was what they left us to:
It was where my PH proposed to his wife, and it was pretty special.

375erJudge G, I think your picture about sums it up. I do also like Ravner's Wyoming elk hunt picture though!

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
