That was to be a fateful and expensive morning, my camera (a Canon EOS 300D) fell hard with my 170-500mm Sigma lens on it. The results were rather painful. With my arrival to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park imminent and no camera, I was ready to return to Johannesburg there and then. Luckily I am insured and I must say that Outsurance outdid themselves for me, they allowed me to buy a equivalent replacement camera and promised to refund it to me as soon as I sent them the receipt. Highly unexpected and highly appreciated. Unfortunately, the day was wasted looking for a replacement camera in Upington. I eventually found one at Game. And now it was time to learn how this new camera worked, a Canon EOS 400D. As far as the zoom was concerned, I would have to do with my 70-200mm EF Canon lens until I get back to Johannesburg. I was to be rather impressed by the combination… Unfortunately, we also arrived late at Twee Riveren Restcamp. And I will also mention that the last 37 kilometers to the park are not tarred as advertised. But I will tackle that in another entry. The only photo’s I got that day were of the sunset…
In the back is Botswana…
