Len, is it true that you are not allowed to get out of the safari vehicle to answer the call of nature?

 

[Len Backus]

Why didn't you get closer to the leopard while he thought you were trying to steal his groceries?

Great story and super pictures. Again, it was a super read.

Looks like a great article and pics to be the centerpiece of your new LRH Home Page.

Great photos Len; any chance of a link to some hi res copies please.
BTW that link a couple of replies above did not work for me, just an ad.

Thanks much, glad you enjoyed it.

Len,

Your photos are fantastic. Your story telling comes alive like a tale from Peter Hathaway Capstick. I will probably never get to Africa so keep the photos and stories coming.

Regards,

Wayne

Thanks, actually there is one more story from that trip that I haven't written. I'll do that this winter.

Len,
Great read, who did you book the safari with? I am currently living in Nairobi and travel to the Mara and surrounding parks as much as possible to "hunt" with my camera.
