I have posted some pictures from South Africa and Botswana if anyone is interested. I haven't really used a camera much before this trip since never wanted to carry all that stuff around. But I found my new digital pretty light without too many accessories and pictures OK for myself and relatives, and so I'll have some memories.
Now I just have to finish my trip report!

I hope these links work.

GREAT pictures!!! Thanks for sharing! 105 days til my first Africa trip

your lion pictures are incredible!

Beautiful photos! Looking forward to the trip report and hearing about that elephant at your room at Kings Pool.

Thank you! I'm so jealous...we never saw the wild dogs at Madikwe

Awesome pictures!

We only went to Botswana for our safari. How would you compare your experience in SA vs. Botswana?

Some great photos, especially the big cats and eles but then again also love those memories of mekoros in the Delta waters, the Delta from the air and the camps and everything!

Brandywine you have a six days until I head out. This itinerary includes first time trips to Kings Pool and Mombo, so would love to hear more about your time at Kings Pool.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the nice comments. Kavey, I'm glad you encouraged me to post, as it turns out, a lot of friends and associates wanted to see pictures also, so its a great idea.
Kavey, I hope that you and your family and friends were all well and safe today. We were so sorry to hear about the bombings and our thoughts are with you and all the British people.

Thanks! Yes there are lots of us out here who genuinely enjoy seeing peoples' photos - especially if they are of a part of the world we love ourselves!
Glad you've had positive feedback on sharing them!
