      Dude, I am going to start a collection on Zoochat to buy you a proper camera. :D
      Man, these are some amazing wildlife experiences you had, but I hope that the memories are clearer than the pics. :D

      Seriously though, I look back on some of my pics with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and say "damn, if only I had a better camera".

      Yeah, my camera isn't good with long distances. I have some much better pictures in my Facebook galleries that I can give folks access to if you want to contact me individually.

      The black rhinos were a long ways away and there was no way to get good pictures of them without a telephoto lens, which I don't have. I did get some pretty good video of them that perhaps I will post if that becomes possible on Zoochat.

      Thanks for the pics! Awesome!

      You know when you click a pic on FB to enlarge it, it starts off blurred and then becomes crisp when it loads fully? Well, I think that something is wrong with your FB page, because most of the pics remain blurred even after a minute of waiting. I feel nauseous now. :D

      Great pics though - well, experiences I mean. :)

      It looks like you were able to tick all the usual safari animals, including leopard, which is superb. So many of my colleagues were disappointed that they did not see a leopard on safari. Besides aardvark, are there any other animals that you really wanted to see but missed?

      Did you go with a tour company, or was it a self-tour?

      Is someone's name really "Bumpass"? Either way it is pronounced (Bum-pass, or Bump-ass), I will still chuckle. :D

      Dear @DavidBrown, I feel for you there!

      What is impossible to convey though in any pictures - even clear ones for that matter - is the overwhelming intensity of the experience of (being able and present) seeing rare and beautiful wildlife up close and personal!

      Point being: You were there at the right moment, right time, right place ..... and that will never be erased from your memory.
