Nic must have a fantastic zoom lens to get those closeups.

He already said he rented a camera. He also said you'd be surprised how
close you can get on safari. No thank you!

They're beautiful animals but you won't catch me out there with them in
a Jeep.

There was a young lady of Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger;
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside,
And the smile on the face of the tiger.

I work on the principal that if the wild life was constantly eating the
guests it would be bad for business and they would adjust their
practices accordingly ;-)

Good point, Nik! And a moot point in my case, since I couldn't afford
