Beautiful !
Thank you.

Saeed,

You have obviously taken many fabulous photos on this trip. I for one have certainly enjoyed them. Thank you.

The Loopy horned Gemsbok is pretty neat. I wonder if that would qualify as a discounted cull animal?

Saeed, you must have one of the best photo albums in the world, going by the pictures you have posted over the last week!!

Good Grief! that makes the urge stir, I gotta get back ASAP.
thank you for the pics.

Wow...I thought that was a one-horned Gemsbok. I actually saw one like that when I was there. Am I wrong?...did it have a curled horn?
Anyway...spectacular photos and again thanks for sharing.

Great photos. Will you fill us in on the lenses you are using?
Thank you
Frank

Thanks again!!

Frank,

Nikon D1X with 28-300 Tamron and 80-400 VR Nikon
Fuji S1 Pro with the same lenses above.

Again great pics, Saeed.

My wife comes with me and takes maybe 75% of all of our photographs on safari. I take maybe 25% but of course claim all the great ones as my own.

I find that it's hard to hunt for game and good photographs at the same time. So most of mine are taken at off moments, when I'm really not hunting for anything but a good picture at all.

How do you do it?

Saeed: That is indeed an interesting Gemsbok. Those are the tophies that the Europeans really like to take. Anything that is very unusual and unique.

I normally take 2 cameras with me. An SLR which I keep in teh truck, and a small one that I carry in my pocket.

I seem to be snapping pictures non-stop. Except when I am close to game animals we are after.

It’s no handy cams these Fuji S1 and Nikon d1. I think you are using a bearer either for your cam or your rifle?
Anyway, you are really gifted, thanks for these splendid pics. Keep them flowing, a wonder..

Use enough gun.
You are are fully right, nothing more baiting than an anomality for a European. Upon seeing this loop I am certain some Europeans will ask Saeed right now where the Gemsbock could be find.

Another selection hase been added to the link above.

Lovely, lovely images. You Sir have talent!

Nice pics!
Question:
In the latest group of pictures, what is the name of the green tree with the barnacle looking growths on it? Thanks.

No idea I am afraid, I just learnt to avoid getting close to them after I inadvertantly ran into one in the long grass!

The rest of the boys with us thought I ran into a leopard the way I was screaming!

Fantastic pictures and beautiful country. No wonder Africa still draws advanturers from all over the world!

Thank you very much for sharing pictures.

Just looked at the additional link.

That first Buffalo picture made my heart skip a beat!

Dear Saeed, Once again you have enriched those around you with that which is right in front of us! Thank you once agin... we are all indebted. How I miss the Hornbills

Great photo's! I wish I could have been there when they were snaped!

The thorns bring back many many memories. Everything over there bites, scratches or has a thorn on it. I learned that the hard way with 7 stitches in the lip on the last trip after paying no attention to a thorn bush while looking for mountain reedbuck. Good doctor sewed me up fine and no scar. Again, great pictures Saeed. Keep posting!

Saeed,

You are a good shooter, both with the camera & the rifle - Good eye!

GREAT WORK!

Saeed,
To say the least "Fantasic photos"

There are a lot of things about the AR site which makes it habit forming. Your great pictures makes the addiction stronger

Very nice photos, amigo. Very nice!

Saeed,
Great photos! I'm trying to learn where to shoot an elephant. On the bull in the second series, I would imagine for a frontal brain shot, about 1-2" below the top wrinkle and center. What is your advise?
