Addo Trips 2021 with Pete & Jane

Post by Peter Betts »

Jane and I went to Addo yesterday , our first time since Lock Down and my first with a Mirrorless System>> Thrilled with this camera and lens combo The Nikon Z System. We saw a small group of Buff as we drove in at 7am in perfect light. Addo being far South , the light goes off far Quicker than say Kruger> Pic needs a click to enjoy the light

Yes Klipspringer the Addo Buffalo were largely started from European Zoos I was told a few years ago Disease Free and the horns are different to my preferred Cape Buffalo Deep swept curved horns from Kruger , Zimbabwe etc

I took a short detour to Arizona dam and on the way back I encountered this old Codger of an Ellie ambling over the hill towards me >> I waited for him to get to a nice low /High position and got this. Could be from Etosha lol >> Give the old boy with a limp ear and both all tattered a click he will appreciate it
