Some photos of Tanzania and the Selous
      18/11/08 12:43 AM

I have not taken as many pictures as normally as we were busy hunting all the time most of the time. From waking up at 4 am and coming back sometimes after 10 pm back in camp, mostly we came back at 8 pm though.

And running around with a video camera and extras in heat over 35 degrees celcius during the day would be too much to carry around my SLR as well. Anyway I wasnt there to take photos but to work and film.

The heat was not much more than in South Africa in the nothern regions but in SA we usually stop hunting at 11 am and only start at 3 pm when it's hot. But being so far from camp and sometimes just the vehicle we were feeling the full force of the heat and sun in midday untill we could get to the vehicle and stop for a break.

I think on average I drank around 5 liters of water per day. Talk about detoxing :Clap:

So the photos are limited and I tried to capture some photos at night as you will see.

Enjoy.












Full flight formation.






Hippos on their way for dinner.






The hippo is 20 yards from me and the tents 10 yards to my left out of picture. With me trying to capture the hippo at dark obviously it must stand still and this was the best one where the hippo stood still more than 30 seconds. We could hear this one around our tents every night.
