Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

bwanamrmNice pictures, well done.
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

Bill CWonderful pictures Saeed, especially that leopard. Looking fwd to Parts II +
Pity about the giraffe. Did you check the carcass to see what came to feed on him? Hyena, lion, poachers perhaps?

SaeedBy the next morning, we found that hyaenas have fed on him, eating his eyes, ears and nose.
They have also opend up his stomach. By the day after that there was very little left of him, as the vultures joined in during day time.
Later on on our hunt, we felt that the vultures were actually following our truck!!??

cjwLooks like all of you had a great trip, Saeed. Love all of the photos.

FjoldGreat report and pictures Saeed. I guess that's the concession to go to for leopards.

I think this report might go to 5 parts at least. It is extremely hard to choose photos to post from the large collection we have.
I might do photo reports later on.
