On the road to Tanzania

This will be a fairly long day on the road for us. We have to go from Kemba Camp back to Nairobi, then south to the Tanzanian border. After we make the border crossing, we will continue on to Arusha and spend the night at Snake Park

A couple of my traveling companions shot photos of me during the game drive yesterday. I had the tripod setup in the 4x4 and it just comfortably reaches out of the top so I can stand up and shoot without worrying too much about something eating or trampling me. I also have been using a "Bean Bag" directly on the roof of the 4x4 for some shots. It's fats to setup and keeps the camera steady even at.500mm. If you want to pan, however, nothing beats the tripod with a fluid head.
