Awesome photos Mark, and welcome back! Hope you had a good time... looks like it was amazing.

What's the zoom on your camera? you weren't right in front of that lions nose were you? Very Happy

Yeah that lion was about 10' from me Shocked

I was busy taking close ups and was finally told by my guide that he was alittle to interested in me and we should be moving on.

I was using a 70-200 with a 2x doubler most of the time. If I was lucky enough to get close I would take the doubler off.

As for eating different meats... Not really sure what we were eating at camp. The cook didnt speak very good english and would only say "meat". It was very tasty who ever it was!
