Pilanesberg National Park
- Picture Gallery 2007
Galleries of pictures
taken in Pilanesberg National Park the last 6 years
It took me the last 10 months to make galleries of pictures taken, so I
haven't touched the last 10 months' pictures.
There are 41 000 pictures, most taken by me. You can pick any random day
and see what you could see with me.
They are copyrighted and intellectual property, but are for sale at a very
reasonable rate - just mail.
With the older pics I used a HP 635, then a Canon A70 powershot, and the
last year and a half a Canon 350D,
with standard, 70-300, 170-500, and 100-400 IS lenses.
9 Feb 2009, I'm working backwards from Aug 08 on this. Balance of 2007 should
be up shortly...
This will differ from the old galleries, and have 5 or less bigger pics of
the day - pages 1 G or less.

This trip below was the best ever. Day 1 was excellent, with 3 quality lion sightings and 18 species in total. I told my clients they would be disappointed with day 2, but we were blown away with another different 18 species, as well as the quality of sighting. Normally 13 species is good, and 16 excellent, and you can normally add 1/3 of your first day sightings to day 1 for day 2 - rarely more than 20 for 2 days. This is what you as a guide can hope for, but get once in a lifetime! 3 Lion sightings both days.
