We had an open-sided land rover which didn’t have to stick to the regular route or schedule, so we got closer to the animals and more time with them.  I still didn’t get any good shots from any of the drives though.  If you get the right angle, you can photograph a large African herbivore (rhino, giraffe, zebra, gnu etc.) with a thatched cottage, two nuclear power stations, a small-gauge steam railway, a lighthouse and the English Channel in the background.  I don’t know why they don’t make more of a feature of this possibly unique possibility.
