Darren - It looks like you guys had such a good time on this trip! The photos are just great - I would love to see what you would do with a DSLR because you certainly made some fabulous photos with your S3. Hmmm... ;-)
Did you take any videos with it?
Thanks for sharing!

Your animal highlights are exactly that. I bet it was hard to narrow it down.
Your Rwanda gorillas were excellent. Which group did you see? You also went to the golden monkeys from the pix.
Beautiful, colorful Zanzibar photos. You even got Colobus monkeys.
You had a well rounded trip.

Hi Sharon,
Glad you liked my photos! Yes, we had an amazing time on our trip. No, I didn't take any video with the Canon S3 because my wife had a video camera (and she is a TV reporter, so she is much more qualified than I am to make movies!) Back at home, I've used the S3 to take some small video clips (most recently of the new white shark at the Monterey Bay Aquarium) and I've been pretty pleased with the results.
Hi atravelynn,
Yes, it was hard to narrow down the photos to put in my "highlights" set. I actually think there are many photos in the individual "region" sets that are better than some of the photos in the "highlights" set (like the blurry photos of the eland and rhino), but I wanted to limit the number of photos in the "highlights" set and I wanted to show most of the different types of animals that we saw. I could do a whole separate set of bird highlights (in fact, I probably *should* do that).
Thanks for the compliment on my Rwanda photos. We saw the Susa group of mountain gorillas and had a fabulous hour with them. Yes, we also did a golden monkey trek, but those little guys were extremely hard to photograph!
Zanzibar was absolutely beautiful! We're so glad we went there! It was definitely worth the stop to see the red colobus monkeys in the Jozani Forest on our way from Stone Town to Paje. Unlike the golden monkeys, they are used to humans so I was able to get really close to them to take photos.
Cheers,
Darren
