I recommend Gamewatchers safari company in the Kenyan conservancy’s. no crowds of tourists, the same amount of game, personalised guided tour with wonderful Masai guides, great food and accommodation. Plenty of photo opportunities. The best thing is that you are supporting conservation and the Masai people

Thank you all for your kind words. It truly was an amazing trip. One that hopefully I will be able to repeat. It was particularly enjoyable because I could enjoy it with my wife and 2 of my three daughters.

Good shots. Not so much gore since it is the balance of nature and not some idiot killing these animals for the "fun" of it.
I couldn't agree more. I can't believe that people want to kill these beautiful creatures for sport or for their horns.

The first shot is of a Superb Starling.
Thanks for that. I knew it was the "wonderful, superb or fantastic" something but could't remember. Our guides certainly knew all the names

One of the best trips ever--wildlife, good company, good food, comfortable accommodation, beautiful countryside-- what's not to love!!

The answer to increasing shakiness is to downsize to the micro 4/3 format. The cameras and lenses are smaller and lighter. and deliver excellent results. Both Olympus and panasonic now have cameras with IBS that combine with lens that have in lens stabilisation to give an additive effect. Unfortunately at present, the olympus in lens stabilisation in the new 12-100 F4 lens works only with the OMD 5 mk 2 and the OMD 1 mk2 and the Panasonic lenses, which have always had in lens stabilisation, work only with the newer Panasonic bodies that have IBS.

we were fortunate to see a large male shortly after killing his prey, cheetas eating their prey on 2 different occasions, and a pride of lions eating a buffalo followed by hyenas finishing it off

We were very fortunate and saw lion aplenty, 3 different cheetas and a beautiful leopard. One morning, in the Porini Lion camp, we saw 3 different prides of lions before 10am. It was absolutely incredible. We also saw a lion kill and on different 2 occasions saw lions feeding on their prey, shortly after making their kill.

What was the name of the tour you went with and did you really like them?
Gamewatchers safaris. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Camps were great, the Masai were wonderful, food and drinks excellent, weather excellent (we went late Jan/early Feb) and game was plentiful-- also very few tourists at that time.
It's not cheap but I think it was worth every cent.

Interesting that you did this with the Oly micro 4/3 camera system which proves the point that these small cameras do a great job.
I love the micro 4/3 system. I took both the omd 10 and my new G85 as well as my 3 zoom lenses. All fitted into a small camera backpack and weighed just over 2 kg. My new 100-400mm zoom F4 pro lens, (equivalent to a 200-800mm lens on a full frame camera) is tiny compared with the equivalent full frame lens and weighs about 900gms. As you can see but the quality of the pics-- it's a great lens. I used this in conjunction with the G85 and the dual IS was excellent, enabling sharp hand held pics at 400mm with exposure times of 1/15 sec
