Thanks - yes - I don't know why it is so hard to get a good zebra photo - I have lots of photos of zebra butts..... You are right about the trip - I really don't know which is worse - compressing the misery or spreading it out. Maybe the 16 hour trip with some Valium and a bunch of pillows...
(Don't mean to deviate too far from your safari theme here.) But we returned in late July from Botswana via Cape Town and London. A couple traveling with us scored a business class upgrade with comfy lay-flat seats. Too comfy perhaps since they didn't get up and stretch much. A few days after we returned she developed bilateral pulmonary emboli and spent a few days in the hospital. Not moving around on the plane is not good. Contributing factor was they had hiked up the 2000 ft. Table Top Mountain earlier in the day and became dehydrated.
Btw, when I checked on the Atlanta-J'burg flight it was $3700!
Anyway, looking forward to seeing more of your photos.
I travel poor man class; however i understand that 1st class do land earlier.

I am envious. That is an excellent shot of the zebra, well done. Looking forward to many more of your trip.

I just returned from a 10-day trip to South Africa with Greg Sweeney, a former National Geographic photographer. This trip was reasonably priced and was designed for photographers - we had only six people and so the safari vehicles were plenty roomy to get photos on either side. Our drivers/guides were ours and focused on helping us get the photos we wanted. Over the next few weeks - as I go through thousands of photographs - I will be submitting examples of the photos that I took on this once-in-a-lifetime photographer's fantasy trip. To say the very least, it was fantastic. I will be happy to discuss details of this trip with anyone who wants to message me. His website is:

A great shot of your Zebra. I been to Kruger National Park back in the film days, just before Digital came out. My Chinon film camera with its small zoom just couldn't cut it. And my Zebra's don't look as good as your's.
