EOS R6II and R7 bodies, RF 100-500mm, RF 24-240mm, and RF 14-35mm lenses along with a 1.4x TC.


Wish I could have gotten my hands on one of the new RF 200-800mm lens before I left, it would be perfect.

A few more pics from yesterday…

We stopped opposite side of the pond just as this fella decided to come across. Absolutely amazing to be so close to such a behemoth. He crossed within 12-15’ of the Landcruiser, pausing in the middle of the road to look at us before continuing on to the other side.

He is one of the very old “Big boys” in the park.




Several hippo hanging out, I counted at least 12 in this pond. Never came out and only a couple yawns.





Elephant squaring off on a Water Buffalo that got a little to close to the group for his liking





Juvenile Spotted Hyena, unexpected as they are nocturnal. There is another one with him, you can just make out the ears to the right. I got video of the two of them briefly playing tug-o-war with a bone





Start the trip home in about 24 hours, should be there Friday afternoon local time. More pics to come as I sift through the thousand or so that I took
