I just returned last night from a 5 week trip to South Africa. I was originally supposed to go for 4 weeks but my flight back to the States was canceled twice. I took my Z9 + Z 400mm f/2.8 TC and Z 7ii + Z 70-200mm 2.8... it was my first real outing with the Nikon kit so I am still getting use to it.
Robert I think you are used to the new Nikon gear. Beautiful images. The lion is sweet. The zebra's look great in B&W. That cheetah looks like it could use a good meal, and the giraffes shot is really special.

Thanks Dave. The cheetah sighting was really something as my girlfriend and I followed her for close to an hour and a half. It was just the 2 of us. We watched her hunt a group of impala and man-o-man could she move. Unfortunately she has an injured left eye. If you look at the photos you will see that it's severely swollen and her pupil is completed dilated like she has a cataract. Have no doubt it's effecting her hunting.

giraffe shot looks like it has 2 necks ,one of those mmm shots 😳
It does! These 2 males were fighting over a female that was standing near by. As they swing their heads you could hear their necks and heads being smacked when they connected.
I guess the moral of this post is that you should just buy another Z9, you seem to be enjoying that camera a lot more than the Z7 II based on the contents of your thread!
