Trip to Marataba Mountain Lodge

[Naks]

After Thornybush and Londolozi, the final stop on our recent safari trip was Marataba Mountain Lodge: https://www.more.co.za/marataba/

After the plentiful game we saw at the first two reserves, Marataba was a bit of a let down except for the many, many rhinos we saw (I don't post photos of rhinos online for obvious reasons), but the scenic view and the one night under the stars in their treehouse made up for it.

One of the highlights was spotting & managing to photograph the elusive African Wild cat.

My Nikon D40, bought in 2007 paired with a newly-bought Tamron 18-400mm lens.

Half of the photos from Londolozi, however, were shot using a Nikon 200-500mm that I hired from them.

thanks, I think I've reached the limit with my D40. After all, it's 14 years old now and the tech has come a long way, especially with low-light ISO, smart auto-focus, etc.

I'm actually going to upgrade to a D5600 and then buy the Nikon 200-500mm lens - that is an incredible lens and it just made shooting so much easier!
