That was a fun watch! Nicely done.

Welcome back. Really appreciate your sharing a little peak into your safari.

I feel so fortunate to have been able to go on a safari in 2016. I have been on a lot of vacations, but nothing tops a safari.

So cool! so inspiring!

The less-than-perfect shot of the cub was perfect and the cheetah images were amazing!

Amazing! On my bucket list

Great video ending as always! And of course awesome photos too!

Thanks for letting us tag along with you!!

Great!

This was absolutely amazing! I am planning to go to Tanzania in June. Still undecided what lens I’ll bring. I’ll have 2 cameras for sure. One for closeup, the other for wider views. Hard choice between heavy, big, sharp and creamy background or versatile, light, small and busy background. Nothings perfect!

Hi Steve, a wonderfull oportunity beeing alone in a car with a excelent driver, great video, good pics! Been there july 1992, with a Nikon F3 and a Fe2, a dont know the brand anymore 100 - 300mm and a 500mm mirror lens. And Kodachrome 64 ;-)) Should try to digitalise the slides now with the best tech on market... Wish i had the possibilities of now then ;-)) We did a 2 month trip, Kenia and Tansania, Safari, treking, Mt. Kenia and Mt. Kilimanjara, diving, having a great time... And sincwe so me tie i think about going there again... You make the feeling bigger! Thanks a lot!

AWESOME!! And painfull LOL!! I took my wife and three kids there in February 2018 for 9 days and I recognize some of the areas you showed. One of my daughters still has the Kenya bead bracelet on that she got there, it NEVER comes off!!! Gotta do it again!

Great video. I am planning a Safari in Tanzania as soon as I can… I can’t afford a 400 and a Z9, but my 100-400 plus TC and my Z6II (waiting for something new) hopefully will be good for that

👍🏾

Brilliant to see first hand experience of shooting in the field in Africa. So glad you made the vlog… I’d be very interested to find out if you managed to get the 400mm f2.8 lens hood in the Gura gear bag.
