African Lions : The lion is the largest African predator, with males weighing over 500 pounds. Females are in the 350 pound range. Only the male is maned. The lion is the most social of cats with prides ranging from 3 to 30 individuals, normally with a dominant male and female. The dominant male will drive away his male offspring as they grow and he perceives them as a threat. Lions tend to be active at night, mainly near sunrise and sunset. On our last trip we were fortunate to see a hunt at about 9 in the morning. All of the lions in this section were photographed in southern Africa in the Kruger Park South Africa, the Sabie Sands Reserve  South Africa,  the Etosha Park Namibia, or the Amani lodge  also in Namibia. The first photos in this Gallery were taken in Amani, we found that they do their best to accomodate photographers. note the light on the cats. If you're in Windhoek we recommend you make this a must stop www.amani-lodge-namibia.com . Our latest (3rd) trip completed in October 2009. This was our first trip to Namibia, but not our last. One of the advantages of using a guide in Kruger is that he communicates and shares information on animal sightings with other guides, increasing your chances of sightings. Take care though, we have seen some (most) companies crowding 10 people into the vehicles, 3x3 and one next to the driver. If you're with one of these companies and you're in the middle or the wrong side, frustration is assured. Try to find a guide/company that doesn't take more than six. You've paid a lot of money to get there and for the safari, so get the most out of it. As mentioned on my opening page we have had great experiences with Boma Tours. www.bomatours.co.za In Namibia the best way ( in our opinion) to get around is in a rented vehicle. The trafic is very light once you leave Windhoek and your flexibility increases dramatically.

Turtles and tortoises : This is collection of images of the varied turtles and tortoises that I have seen. I never realized the variety of sea turtles that the Gulf of Mexico has.  Many thanks go to the good people at Sea Turtle, Inc on South Padre Island, Texas.  They continue to educate people about the plight of sea turtles that frequent the waters of the United States and beyond.
