Leonard and I are finally getting back to our regular schedule here in New Jersey. ROAR 2 was fabulous and we're so glad we were able to meet so many LCTers! Hats off to Ngaire, Debbie, and everyone at Brown & Keene that worked so hard to pull together the ultimate trip to South Africa. We're still going through our photos and videos, but here are some of our favorites so far: http://www.solorecording.com/downloads/Africa2008 We enjoyed the entire trip. When we do it again, we'd spend more time at Birkenhead and more time at the game parks. We loved both Kings Camp and Leopard Hills. We're already talking about when we can go back! The vacation was so much fun and we enjoyed sharing it with so many terrific people! Andrea & Leonard

GREAT shots. Have to go tell Ken to take a look at these pictures.I like that site you are using to post your pictures.
I still cant believe almost everyone saw wild dogs but me. Good pictures of them too. YEARS I have been trying to see them in the wild. Lions Sands gave me a toy wild dog. Guess I have to keep going back and back and back. One of these days!
It was wonderful to get to know you both. I wish we had a chance to spend some time at a game park with you. Never mind sometime in the future we will meet again I am sure.

Andrea and Len, those shots are so amazing that I felt like the animals were going to come alive off my screen!!! Just incredible. All of you ROAR2'ers have done such an amazing job of bringing your experience to life for those of us who couldn't be there. THANK YOU!!!!

Hi Andrea, thanks for sharing those fantastic photos. It was nice to get to know you and Len at Kings Camp (Number 10! Come with me!) It looks like you had some great sightings at Leopard Hills too.

Wow - fabulous photos - I especially love the leopard in the exercise room - it looks like he's doing a downward dog yoga position. They are all just terrific!

Andrea, those photos are simply stunning but not surprising. It was a true inspiration to watch you and Leonard on the overcrowded shark boat pursuing the "perfect" shark shot. Your tenacity paid off! Big time! It was wonderful to have shared a very small part of the ROAR experience with you. Pat

Wonderful photography, Andrea. Len is very talented. I especially like the way he composes his shots.
I hope to "pick your brain" about your experience when we meet up in Tampa in a couple of weeks.

#10, I look forward to checking out the pictures when I get home.
We so enjoyed spending time with you two at King's Camp.
Wouldn't you know it? We were in #10 in Madikwe, followed by #7 at Lewa Wilderness.
Cheers, Perpetual #7 Ranking Member(a/k/a Anne)

Andrea, it was so great meeting you and Leonard, if only for such a short time at the airports! Leonard is definitely in the big leagues now of being a BK Lens Lad! I think he soared right up to Ken's level real fast!
From all reports, I hope to visit King's Camp in the future. First heard about it after Ngaire when Mitch and Bert's daughter went there on her honeymoon. Not ONE negative about this place from anyone!
