Thank you @travelfeed. You guys are awesome!

wow , very nice post and nice click , i like the new steemit logo with red blood vessels.... ;-)

@adityajainxds #thealliance

Thank you. I am glad you liked it. I made those steemit page breaks in photoshop using a lightning brush.

Hello @derangedvisions! This is a great post full of beautiful photographs. Which kind of camera do you use? I felt like being in Africa myself. This is exactly the kind of post I am here to support! Keep it up! I also noticed from some of your comments that you are a big fighter against plagiarism! This is something I truly appreciate and I would like to say big THANK YOU
@photofriend - supporting original photography on Steemit and fight against plagiarism. [introduction]

Thank you @photofriend. For these photographs I was using my Canon 80D and switching between a Canon 24-105mm f/4 and a Tamron 150-600mm lens.

Thank you for the info! I think some Steemians would appreciate such information being included in your future posts.
Thank you again for your contribution to Steemit!

Good to know. I will probably start doing that so people could have an idea of my gear and how I shoot and maybe learn something while they are at it.

I think that this is exactly the expectable outcome of such action. By the way, your ostrich capture, is my favourite. I suspect that its body shape is what makes me love it so much! Well done!

Thank you.

awsum . I forgot about them red headed lizards . I hated them :)

Lol, why did you hate the lizards? They have feelings too. I thought they looked awesome.

just the red headed ones . they attack you then run away . they do look awesome

That would have been awesome to see them attack someone. I would have gotten some great pictures of that.

no what you would have gotten was me running away like a little girl

lol. That is what would have made it so awesome.

Holy moly, those pictures really are amazing. I love how you captured that last one with the lion... Roaring? Some really good timings in general, like the wing spread. Ooh! And the lizard.

The one with the women carrying all that wood as well. Really brings out the Maasai lifestyle. Enjoyed looking through it all.

Thank Eon. I am glad that you enjoyed them. If everyone in India starts sending me their BTC to exchange like we talked about, I will get you a ticket to Tanzania so you can go on a safari.

I was about to say, no one mentioned the last picture of the lions? LOL Perfect shot XD rarrrr

Lovely outing. Great shots of the wildlife. Lmao @ the lion commentary

Thank you @ulqu3. I am glad you enjoyed it. It was an amazing experience.

I Love lizards :D
Thanks for sharing these pictures on your wonderful adventure. I have to say, that last pic of the lions.. lol the finishing move? haha, money shot right there XD
Haha, sorry, just being silly.

If you were a bird, you would be on the discovery channel. As you would be the one bird with the most stunts lol.

lol, the lions were awesome. We were so far away from them too, so no one could really get any good pictures of them except for me because they all had either cell phones or point and shoot cameras and I had a monster lens on my camera. The lion probably though he had some privacy, little did he know...

Good cameras and good lenses are key for great pictures. But you capture more than just pictures.

Fabulous photos and post

Thank you @tattoodjay. The safari was so awesome. I can't wait to go back with my family so my kids can experience it too.

I bet they will all love be it
I regret that in all my time in Africa I only ever spent one day on Safari

That is why you have to go back. What part of Africa were you in and where did you go on safari?

Wow looked like an amazing trip. I would love to go and explore there.

It really was incredible. Africa is such an incredible place with so many diverse landscapes. The opportunities for photography are endless.

Great travel post, astonishing wildlife captures. Hopefully, more efforts against poaching, deforestation and other major threats will be made in Africa so that future generations will also have a chance to admire the incredible African biodiversity. Thanks for sharing these with us Wes.

Thank you @phortun. Tanzania and Kenya have come a long way with their efforts against poaching. I really hope that the animals and their habitat remain for future generations to enjoy.

Good to hear that. Some years ago, I wrote my university thesis on wildlife in Namibia and back then, the situation was not so good. Looks like they are starting to realize how important it is to care for and protect their nature :)

I can imagine how many pictures you took there! :) Great writeup. Love the earthy tones in your photos, and you made your own bloody divider?

Thank you. I took about 25,000 pictures while I was in Africa and have 6,400 of them that I kept. The dividers were made using lightning brushes in photoshop. It was fun making them.
