John,

The rock paintings were made by Bushmen way back when. I must admit that I didn't know that Bushmen used to live in Zim. Thought it was mainly Botswana, Namibia, RSA and a bit in Angola. I guess they were killed of in Zim by the Bantu rather early.

Stretch didn't raise his rifle even once while we were close to the elephant bulls. It was quite an unusual expericance.

The lense I used was a Nikon 80-200mm 2.8ED on my Nikon D70S (due to the differance between the digital chip and the analoge lense, one must times the lense with a factor of 1.5, so in otherwords; 200mm is then extended to 300mm). The lions were taken at full zoom; 300mm.

It was kind of exiting trying to crawl/sneak up on them!



Erik
