Timing is everything when it comes to seeing the best of the natural world.

Right time, right place, great photos.

Tight quarters and a shitty view, but I'll take it.

Exactly!

Same with trophies.

The best meal I have ever had was Zebra backstraps in Namibia.

I'd say, the Lioness has good taste...

And maybe it was the way it was fixed but, Zebra in SA was the absolute worst meal I've ever had in Africa.

I really like zebra, probably because we ate a lot of horse meat as a boy during WWII. Beef, pork, and chicken were rationed and my mother would trade her meat ration stamps for other things and buy non-rationed horse meat that every butcher shop sold.

As a result, I was 10 years old before I learned what beef tasted like. To my unsophisticated taste, my first reaction was it wasn't as good as horse.

I ate my first zebra filet in Zimbabwe in 1983 and made it a point to eat zebra on all my subsequent trips to Africa. It's been so long since I ate horse meat I don't remember if it has the yellow fat that zebra does but I suppose it does.

I've heard that Burchell's zebra are not all that great to eat while Hartmann's zebra are some of the best meat there is. We've only eaten Hartmann's and it was incredible.

I had them both and they were both excellent. In Namibia the Hartmann's backstrap was smoked and served as an appetizer with cheese, awesome.
The Burchell's was cooked on the pit by none other than Infinito at the Tholo camp in Botswana and it was fantastic.

Have to say out of everything we ate on our safari Zebra was bloody beautiful.

The very best meal we had in Africa was Hartmann's shish ka bob.

I ate the living hell out of horse while in Sweden. If Zebra is anything like horse, I'm all in...

FWIW we ate backstrap steaks off of an old Burchell's stallion that I killed in Namibia some years back and it was as good as any African meat I've ever eaten. Maybe it tenderized falling down the side of the mountain after I shot it. Better than Eland IMO. Mighty fine vittles.

Zebra is good if you trim the fat. Seriously trim all the fat.

We ate quite a bit of horse meat years ago, because we could afford it, and liked it. We tried some of the Burchells Zebra that the wife shot. All I can say is, I ate it but, I can't say I cared for it.

Personally not fond of it, a little too sweet for me but its nearly always tender.
