We also did two helicopter rides with the skilful pilot,Michael Wharton who introduced us to the wonders of wildlife as seen from the skies.We felt very comfortable with him on the helicopter rides. Michael helped me photograph from the helicopter by providing all the right angles and information on the direction of the light.
We had the privilege to meet the well known wildlife photographer,Dana Allen, who was photographing for the Wilderness Safaris brochures and had interesting discussions with him on Nikon cameras, lens, and wildlife in Zambia,Zimbabwe and Namibia.
The only disappointment was the guiding.Our guide was experienced but appeared jaded.Having just come from Jao Camp, where we encountered one of the best guides(see our review of Jao Camp),we were surprised.
