We just arrived from Botswana this morning.  What a trip!  We had great sightings and photo ops, which nicely complemented the sightings from our previous safari, to Tanzania in February this year.  While we saw few Lion and no Leopard in Tanzania, we saw 33 Lion and 9 Leopard in Bots... including a Buffalo kill (by the Lion) and several Leopard cubs.  We also saw hundreds of Elephant and perhaps over a thousand Cape Buffalo.  Our rarest sightings were of an Aardwolf (which we were fortunate to spend over 20 minutes with) and a dying Bull Elephant. 

We were able to get our 1D mark 3 just 2 days before our trip.  It worked great throughout the trip and was used for the majority of our photos.  Most photos were taken in AI Servo mode. 

We working on editing photos for a gallery as well as identifying a few select pieces of video footage to upload.  We’re also planning to post a more comprehensive trip report. 

Stay posted!
