Hi Dennis, some great shots and memories. My wife's said I'm no longer allowed to look at photos from this site - she's fed up with me moping about the house reminiscing about Africa and planning further trips without the neccesary funds to finance them

Wowie!! Dennis these are just great. I loved the people and village shots as well.... I hope to get some like that. I'd say it looks like you had a fab "green season" trip!! Now I'm REALLY excited!

Woohoo!!!!!

Dennis:

Awesome photos. I particularly liked the stork colony from the air, water lilies, kingfisher preening, dragon fly and dead spitting cobra. Anyone have any idea of what killed the cobra?Unusual to see one dead of natural causes.

Can't wait for the trip report!

Enjoyed your photos Dennis! Especially the little bee eater, the cloud formations, aerial shots and of course the"animals have the right of way" sign!

My 1st trip to SA,Zim and Botswana was in Nov-Dec 2005 (Green season) and I am SO ready to go back during the dry season for contrast (the opposite what you did). There are so many choices its overwhelming but South Luangwa is for sure along with the Delta. I also want to do East Afica but I need to research if that would be 2 separate trips or if its possible to combine both. I am aiming for 2007 which seems so FARRRRRR away.
Where to next for you?

Mahalo for sharing your pics, Dennis. I especially liked the close up of the zebra, the dragonflies, and the birds, quite a lesson in ornithology! The microlight flight looked incredible too. So when do you return?

Matt,
We're just a bunch of junkies and codependents here

Great photos -- too many to list, but I really like the little bee eaters and the dragonflies.

Jan-Victor was sleeping in his tent and heard a rustle in the corner. He jumped out of the tent (he's terrified of snakes) and called one of the other workers to whack it! They called us over to see it, glad it was dead, I'd have had nightmares if I saw it alive.
It won't be long for you!!!
Carla-Next trip is to Islands in Africa in Namibia with an add-on to Botswana or Kafue and a few days at Victoria Falls
Patty-Late October, early November. Not as fast a return as this trip..

Wow, Dennis. These are great. All wonderful, but I think I actually like the landscape shots the best. That's some beautiful sky!

Wonderful pictures, Dennis! I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I'm amazed that I've looked at a lot of pictures of zebras on this board, and I never realized that both their tails and their manes are striped as well as their bodies! Nature is truly bizarre... Only 6 weeks until we leave for zambia - like cooncat, we are really excited! Keep on with your trip reports - you're a good writer as well as a good photographer.

Dennis,

Thanks for sharing. Very nice pics....a good variety of everything. Also nice to see the pics of the camps. Tafika and LRL look very different and very interesting.

Wonderful photos! It's amazing to see Tafika Camp in the "green season". I was there in June 2003 and the river was so much lower. We approached from the opposite bank and crossed the Luangwa River in canoes. We stuck on sand bars halfway over.

Some great shots, though I think we need to work on your bird ID's a bit ;-)

Dennis,

Thanks for sharing you beautiful pictures. It looks that I should give Zambia a try in the green season.

I especially liked the ones of the yellow-billed storks.

Greetings,

Johan

Hello Dennis, so much enjoyed looking at your photos. Nice to see the lodges again, the Puku area filled with water, wow. Wish i could have been on the boat at LRL, haha. To me it also seems that you saw much more game than we did in october 2005. I would love to go in the green season myself. The birds pictures are excellent. So were the air -shots, loved all your pictures actually. Happy to hear the spitting Cobra in Victors room was death. Was James still around?
