Hi Dave, Is it the Kruger Park you're going to? If so, then it depends if you're going to a private reserve in Kruger, or the main reserve. The main reserve is self-drive, but you must stick on the roads at all times. Some are tarred, some are dirt. Accom is basic, but there restaurants at most...

Thanks! I'll see if I can get to these.

Thanks! I've wanted to see a snow leopard for a while, they look so majestic on TV. Might give this a visit, cheers.

I'm going to the Cairngorms area next week and was wondering if there were any good spots for wildlife viewing. Bird hides, or just good places to go. Thanks

Well, I've just ordered a 16-35mm f/4 :) Thanks all!

Sounds like a good plan, I may go this route. And get a 24-70 f/4. This way I can use my 77mm filters as well. Thanks!

Yeah sorry forgot to mention it's on my 5D3. I'm torn on the tracking idea, which would mean composites if there's landscape in the frame, instead of a single image. I'm swaying towards a zoom as it's more flexible. I'll go though my image history and see how much I shoot 35-70mm. Also have a...

Hiya, I'm in the market for a wide lens I'll be using for widefield astrophotography as well as landscapes (and possibly northern lights next year). I was hoping you could sway me one way or another. I have a Samyang 14mm but it's too wide for me, so I'm looking at around 20-24mm on the wide...

I use an Optech pro loop strap with my 5D3 and 100-400. It's so comfy compared to the Canon strap, and really makes it feel like there isn't a lot of load.

Cheers Andy! I'll see what dates I can get when booking opens.

Hmmm ok I'll become a member then, thanks! Would be nice to see the puffins with the sand eels, but not the end of the world if I can't get those dates. I've never seen a puffin, so I'll be stoked either way :)

Thanks so much for the responses! I think I'm going to go to Skokholm, I like the idea of a quiet island. Is it easy enough to get a booking , or should I become a member of the wildlife trust to get the week-earlier booking? Thanks

Ohhhh! Yeah it's the London centre. Cheers gramps I'll ask them next time I'm there.

Well done Dave, that's a cracking shot!

I'm determined to head to Skomer or Skokholm next year, and was wondering if one is better than the other for photography? Do they have the same wildlife being so close?
