Hi Peter, I think you are being very ambitious with Vic Falls. Feels like you will rushing around and not taking it all in. If you fly from JNB to VFA, you will be looking at approx. £250 - £375 return with Comair and about 90 minutes flight. Zimbabwe is US dollars, so you'll be looking at $55...

I hear you Simon. I went to the Daks over Duxford this month. Appalling traffic management which took over two hours to get from the just off the A14 to the Duxford roundabout. Also paid extra to park although not sure why it wasn't just one price?. Poorly laid out and unless you were press or...

For some of my images I did use the 1.4 and 2, both mk3. I had some success with them but as I say wildlife isn’t my first choice of photography and was my first time using the combinations. I was still very happy with the results.

I bought the 300 F2.8 IS Mk1 last year for a safari to pair with my FF 5d mk4 and 5Ds and have to say it was fabulous lens. While I struggled with wildlife photography, I had some very good results and very impressed with it. So impressed I’ve kept the lens and just need to sort another safari out.

Hello Neil, I've never had any issues parking although I'm there before sunrise. Like you, being from the flat lands of East Anglia I gave myself 90 mins to get the plateau with a few stops on the way. Its a stunning place imo and walking around the rock structure is worth the walk on its on...

Not been to the cauldron, but down Etive road there isn’t much water sadly.

Good luck with that, not a lot of water flowing. Today was fantastic, rain and a few minutes lighting for sunset.

As @Ian W stated, I'm here amongst the misery and beauty. Not sure what your plans are but will be going to Loch Tulla, Balachulish quarry and generally chasing the light. I'll be wearing a stupid flappy eared hat and blue rucksack if you see me about. Hopefully catch sometime, otherwise enjoy...

Thanks Frank, will wait for another day.

Are there any dates Frank, this looks really interesting although I cant do that particular day :(

I agree with the above, I'm not complacent but just being aware and plan in advance will help you get about safely wherever you travel to.

Bloody hell, S.A has become dangerous within the last week..? I've just returned from JNB - O. R. Tambo International Airport with the good lady carrying two large suitcases, two hand luggage cases and my F-Stop Tipola backpack, walked to the train terminal and got the Gautrain to Sandton and...

Hi all, can't make my mind up what I want, so a couple of questions if someone could help. I'm looking at the DC-G9 for a safari next month to compliment my Canon 5Ds and Canon lenses. Has anyone used a convertor for the DC-9 for using Canon lenses and does anyone have any experience please and...
