As an amateur photographer (with a new Nikon camera) I sometimes wish that I wasn't the driver as well. My love is actually landscape photography for the most part and the sunsets we experienced were unbelievable to put it mildly.

Here are a few of my favorites..
I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have..
Thanks for allowing me to post this trip.

Hey Eddie,

 

You did good and thank you so much for sharing your story and images.  What a nice experience to be able to drive yourself and camp out.  It looked like you had some freedom by not being in a safari vehicle with other tourist.  Looks like a trip that we would enjoy doing but would frustrate others in the group when we would want to sit and watch/photograph a animal for hours at a time.

 

We like the Chobe River as we have been there three times and have booked 2 more times in the near future.  Being a photographer in a custom boat on the Chobe is great.  The Chobe is such a target rich environment that never disappoints with a variety of wildlife opportunities.  Attached is a image of the boat we use.  It has center swivel chairs with a gimble on wheels for our big lenses.  The company even will supply Nikon camera and lenses that you can use. CNP is the company.

Patrick-
We saw those boats when we were on the river and commented to our friends that it was a great set up!
I was actually surprised how well the Nikon did when I turned on the VR switch to eliminate movement. I brought a tripod but due to the situation I didn't have a chance to use it. I hope to on our next trip, possibly to Namibia, and photograph the night sky...As I'm sure you know with virtually no pollution both light and other the night skies were amazing!
