Those are great shots!!!
I like folks who choose to shoot with a camera, rather than a rifle.
Which part of Africa did you visit?

I only have my wish list to upgrade from the smart phone right now. For riding, on my wish list is a micro four-thirds camera, a mirror-less cameras with a smaller frame than full frame. I would get the highest end one that fits in the pocket of my riding suit. Depending, an aftermarket lens upgrade (possibly with a larger aperture) may be a good investment. A tripod is helpful for any camera whatsoever to allow for a longer exposure under low light conditions. A table top tripod tucked in that same pocket is worth its weight in gold.
Note the most significant change of the micro four-thirds setup is the aspect ratio of the photos. The sensor is more square than full frame. Certain scenes may look great being more square, and some scenes will long for a wider portrait that this camera allows. The convenience of the camera size is not valuable if one does not particularly like the aspect ratio. However, I suspect that for most people, picking a camera via aspect ratio would be a pretentiously artsy thing, and insignificant to them.
Thank you. We were in South Africa. Work had us in Johannesburg for two weeks so we spent the weekend at Bakubung Bush Lodge Pilanesberg National Park. I took over 700 pictures and kept 612 of them. Thank god for digital cameras. LOL

I went to a demo night last night for a new Fujifilm release. GFX100RF
Interesting camera. 101mpx sensor. Single piece aluminium machines top plate. Semi retro. Mirror less. And everytime I play with one, I forget there's no shutter sound, so I'm always scared it didn't shoot..

Here’s my pride and joy. . a German built Paxette.
I got it back in '75 and it was old even then!
It doesn't work anymore, shutter is broke....35mm old school film.

And I have 2 of these awesome SLR’s which I used up until the early 2000’s… I bought one used I’m PertH WA back in ‘83 and a Japanese gentleman I worked with at the Suzuki Dealership actually gave me one the same, but with all the lenses and filters etc, all in excellent working condition.
Nowadays with Apple iPhones I just use the camera from that, still gotta love the old school stuff!

Had that for years and still stare at it. Thanks Tim
I love photography and still have my moms old minolta 35mm.
When the very first GoPro 1 came out, had a lot of fun playing with that tiny little camera. Never been much interested in making videos, but I'd set the GoPro to take a photo every three seconds and then let it run on a really twisty section of road. Odds are you'd get at least one good one. This was headed up Highway 108-Sonora Pass which is non-stop twisties. Not quite slider on the ground, but close made for a cool shot.
Using RAM ball mounts and RAM arms was how I got that shot. This is a decade ago long before everyone started mounting Insta360s on their bikes.
