You can be sure to see something awesome anywhere in the area between Crocodile Bridge and Lower Sabie, especially on the S28. We followed the Vultures to a female Cheetah and her 3 sub-adult cubs feeding on an Impala. More Vultures were landing for another hour and we watched and waited to grab shots whenever we could.

Wow what a great sighting, I have never seen Cheetahs with Vultures before, the Cheetahs I've seen have either eaten already and moved off or their meal has been taken by Lions, but I have never seen them eating with the vultures. Very good pics!

So many cheetah photographs are spoilt by thick bush but you got them in the open! You have also given visitors a nice secret they can use - follow the vultures! So many people see them in the sky and landing 'down there' but don't go to investigate what they are up to.

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa

"Having a passion for the region itself and having to know about all dynamics, water holes and ideal roads for a period of 6 years - I wish I had this guide on my first trip already!" - Morkel Erasmus, Secunda, South Africa

"Mario and Jenny take you to places that are not always visited, and their descriptions of the more remote camps will allow you to make an informed decision without wasting time and money"  -  Bob & Sherry Shepardson, DeBary, Florida, USA

"Your time and money are valuable and the information in this book will help you save both."         - Don Stilton, Florida, USA

"I highly recommend the book to anyone visiting Etosha National Park to photograph the animals - or anyone considering an African photography safari in the future." - Anne Darling, Cognac, France

"As a photographer and someone who has visited and taken photographs in the Pilanesberg National Park, I can safely say that with the knowledge gained from this eBook, your experiences and photographs will be much more memorable." - Alastair Stewart, BC, Canada

"This work is so much more than an eBook, because it is also a guide, a tutorial, an inspiration and a must-have for anyone interested in wildlife photography"  - Findtripinfo.com, USA
