Lens help for african safari!

[Scott Murray]

Wow. That is close! I'm happy the equipment is going to suffice. The trip is expensive enough already.

Yes we were lucky and most of mine were shot between the 80 - 250 range with big animals. I have never been to Kruger but I hear its better. So you should be fine. Another thing, do not experience it all behind the lens. Experience it for yourself, this is one reason why I say that my D800 getting drowned was a blessing as it opened me up to what is AFRICA.

Thanks Scott...

Don't thank me but bring home cheetah and leopard pics as they are missing and I need to return.

PS this is a place for friends so returning with your real name helps, if not then a full trip through Africa helps...

Thanks everyone for your help, I spent almost 4 weeks in Africa, and have literally thousands of photos to go through. Here are some that I pulled out of the stack.

A trip to Africa is high on my list. Nice shots, were most of these taken with your Tamron 70-300?
