“Everything was superb: Kathleen as instructor; environment, roaming animals not caged; wide variety; virtual access.”

This was my 5th visit, each one different. Enjoyed sharing with other serious photographers. Nice to be able to enter park before sunrise. One of my favorite pictures was a lion's mane highlighted by the sunrise behind him. Raised platforms allow photographing animals without bars or fences blocking the view. Owners usually around, much like a family sharing their home. Other photographers very considerate, not "hogging" sites. Kathleen had pre-training session night before, refreshing techniques. Also, thought meeting everyone helped bond us as a group. In all, Out of Africa a wonderful experience whether you are a serious photographer or not.
