In 2005 my girlfriend convinced me to enjoy our holidays in Kenya. First I was not impressed doing this, because my favorite destinations were everywhere, but not in Africa. It really came different as I expected. We both love nature, animals... but I never thought that the flora and fauna in Kenya is so amazing and beautiful. We did a one week safari through different National Park like Tsavo East, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli. Each park has its own exciting flair. We have been traveling not very comfortable, but as close to the nature as possible. And my girlfriend was so happy as she recognized that I began to love this continent.

Hi Aughty,
South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, Namibia or Tanzania - all these countries have their own special nature and flair. I have been there except Tanzania (I will catch it up in one or two years).
South Africa is very varied: Game Parks with lots of animals, deserts, big trees, coasts, mountains, etc.
In Kenya and Tanzania are animals over animals - much more than in South Africa or Namibia.
The most important is - don't hurry - in National Parks or Game Reserves in SA (e.g. Kruger, Hluhluwe, Addo, Mt. Zebra) or Namibia (Etosha) there you can go by your own with a rental car (preferable 4x4, but not a must). Stop at a interesting points, switch off the engine and just listen and watch. Often it needs some time until something happens (don't try to cover long distances at one day - instead pick out a small area and be attentive. Watch the behavior of Antelopes and other animals. Have an eye for the beautiful birds.
There are so many more things to tell...
We can keep in contact.... More) - posted by

Holger I'm traveling to South Africa in March for 3 weeks, any advice on how to get pictures like yours. I might head up to Kenya for 2 weeks and do 1 week in SA. Working on the plans now, any input will be helpful. Is there any area I should focus on more than others as far as stock is concern? Thanks. Nice pictures from there. Love to see all 10,000 of them. - posted by

Hi Olga, Nikolai,
thank you for your comment and the link. Russian is quite difficult for me... :-).
I have seen a lot of the world, but Africa is the place wher my wife and me want to go some day. I don't know exactly where it will be, because there are so many places, we have not seen yet. Ciao, Holger - posted by
