The fact that the elephants didn't care that you were there but were watching for lions or something else that might prey on them is very interesting.Mari Sterling Wilburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232646172657479932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-83901280513953105272011-07-17T17:23:32.173-07:002011-07-17T17:23:32.173-07:00Great shots Jim.

I've not been to Africa, but I have had the opportunity to get up close and personal with elephants in Thailand, and I did a 2 day jungle tour in Borneo.

Exciting place for the photographer, scenery, people and the occasional animal that wanders across your path unexpectedly.<br /><br />Hi Rimly, my exciting life is because I have a very prudent wife, beavering away at saving up for that next trip! She asks that I not talk about her, but she's very much a part of what I write about here. But on this last trip, she went to UK, while I was getting chased by animals in Africa.<br /><br />Wandering EDs, yep, they sure are. Got a story to tell about one wandering around our tent at night.<br /><br />Hi Kymri, you have amazing photos on your site, and was good to see the Namibia photos!<br /><br />Thanks Eileen, will be over to see your Thursday offering.<br /><br />Hiya Evan,<br />Most dangerous animal in Africa I have heard said. Those jaws have tusks that come together like a bacon slicer and chop a man in half.Keep clear of them.<br /><br />Hi Debbie, nice to see you here. Keep checking in, I have a lot more. Took heaps of photos this time.<br /><br />Yes Cathy, I thought that photo could sum it all up, that there is so much wildlife there. But the reality is that in other parts of Africa, wildlife is fast being wiped out.<br /><br />Roy, I'll have to keep egging you on to get that good camera and get out there. Why do you think there's a rhino wandering around there? Where did it escape from?<br /><br />Hi Michael, thanks , but you do really great photography yourself...I am so impressed when I get over to your site!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618511960243841803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-24311505861580295482011-07-14T12:33:56.257-07:002011-07-14T12:33:56.257-07:00Could this be considered "Downward Hippo"...Could this be considered "Downward Hippo" pose? :) Cool shots Jim!Michael Figueiredohttp://struxtravel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-67051334388250991072011-07-14T12:13:00.686-07:002011-07-14T12:13:00.686-07:00i like the photo safari and the animals. i am goin...i like the photo safari and the animals. i am going to have to get a good camera and go on a photo safari here. i have been told that the is a black rhino here somewhere. and some other unusual animals beside moose, deer , bear, mountain lions, badgers and who knows what i can get on film. thank you for the safari and god blessRoy Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834208730553747847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-38110403854437676172011-07-14T11:18:53.436-07:002011-07-14T11:18:53.436-07:00That really does look like the cobra position -- w...That really does look like the cobra position -- who knew that hippos did yoga??!
