We as photographers need to be cognizant of the needs of the animals and the environment, there will always be another day and another opportunity, let it go. Hard to do so, almost like pushing away from the table when the tasty dessert is served.......
100% true. I'm going to host two weeks in the Mara next year with another photographer, and we're going to make this very clear to our guests as well, in the hopes that when they go by themselves a next time, they know that wildlife always should be the #1 priority and our behaviour really can have an impact.
@kimmeisinger@ what exactly do you mean? A regular map of all these reserves? Or where sightings can be found? (which is quite impossible since this a very dynamic affair)
I just want a map that would have all the preserves/conservancies etc. so I can get a big picture of where everything is that people have mentioned. That way I could maybe put together a trip with a few of them of interest to me. Thanks!
