On one memorable morning a big pride of lions decided to climb into a fallen tree. The cubs were the first to get in on the act, playing and mock fighting. Then several of the adults decided to join the fun as well. There was so much happening that my wife Wendy and I shot roll after roll. The opportunity lasted for about half an hour, by which time there were twenty five rolls of exposed film lying on the floor of the Land Rover.
Good light is essential for good photography.
The first two hours of sunlight following dawn, and the last two hours before sunset offer soft golden light that will make your pictures positively glow. Fortunately the game drive times at Sabi Sabi coincide with the good light periods. On an overcast day the reverse applies. Best times a little later in the morning and mid afternoon. Fortunately, in cool overcast conditions animal activity usually continues right through the day.
