Suresh, I also wish to thank you for naming the wildlife in this album. I don't know how you do it especially the birds, how you can name them. You must be an avid birder, an avian expert.
said perlasart
Suresh, I cannot put into words how much I have enjoyed this album. Beautiful shots! You captured the beauty and magnificense of the African Savanah and the wildlife that is there for us to protect and conserve. We humans are given the responsibility to preserve them and pictures like these would make our eyes open and see the need to keep these beings to be around for future generations.We also ought to allow the native peoples to live and preserve their culture. What a wonderful and colorful people. They always seem to have a smile in their faces. Thank you so much for sharing these pictures with us.
said perlasart
Dear Suresh, delighted with your travel to places that I will not go to my partner that it's too tired to go. He is very tall and very tired on the plane, everything gets tired ... him!, Well you exist. And I go on these trips you do when you see your photos,Super beautiful album and very great captures! thanks for sharing my friend! Have a nice weekend
said nuberos
You must have been on cloud nine, Suresh. Judging by your album you had a fantastic vacation. So many beautiful animals, and you got to see all of them in the wild. Thanks for sharing the trip.
said cabrosh
Beautiful album - you are absolutely right - Africa IS addictive!! When I was in Tanzania everyone we met was on their 2nd or 3rd trip to Africa and by the end of our time there we were already thinking of making a return trip to other parts - definitely South Africa is in my future...Thanks for this gorgeous album..definitely whets my appetite...if only I was independently wealthy and could travel all year long!!! Lorraine

Very nice album !
said papomena
Hello, Suresh, Through this striking album, Africa calls, indeed! Its elegant portraits are outstanding, as always in your photography, and your animal shots are stunning. It is remarkable how close you were able to come to your animal subjects, even allowing for a telephoto lens. Your crisp, clear focus in each case is also impressive. I'll return as soon as possible to comment on individual pictures here. Thank you very much for your gracious comment on my small Valentine's collection and your perceptive comment on my album on the village of Ballyhooly, in the interior countryside of Ireland. Ballyhooly is indeed a gentle and charming spot, unassuming yet, we found, deeply appealing. While not a major tourist venue, we would happily return there. --All best wishes for a delightful week to come, Rebecca

Hi Suresh, thanks for visiting my album of Sperlonga! Indeed, not much remained from the Villa of Tiberius. However, many statues and mosaics are in the nearby museum. I enjoyed very much visiting Sperlonga, if you are ever travelling in the area it's worth spending an hour or two there. Best wishes, Yair.
said ykarelic4
Dear Suresh, I enjoyed one more time this your marvelous 'African' album!! A lot of thanks for sharing your photos on Webshots. Wishing you all the best, Peppino.
said pbonu
Dearest Suresh - this album is a fantasy for me. I love all the birds and the elephants and zebras and lions and of course your speciality, the people. I don't get a lot of time to spend on webshots anymore, but have been wanting to see this for some time so today was my lucky day! :-) All the warmest regards from your long-lost friend in Missouri, Beth
said stlouisgal
I watched this album together with my wife and we shared the enthusiasm at some of the photos in here that are worth a professional's hand! You did such a great job that it is hard to find the words to describe your achievement...The only thing to say is that the resulting images come from a heart that loves what the eyes see and strives to capture and share them with the world! You have my sincere compliments for this great job!Friendly greetings from Japan, Yoshiyuki Tanaka

Hello my dear Suresh, it was a pleasure to look at this magnificent album on the African wild life and people. Your shots are splendid, beautiful composition and fantastic scenes, and your portraits are enchanting! I was delighted to see all these wonderful smiles and colorful dresses, and the majestic animals in freedom, you had a superb trip, thanks for sharing with us this fabulous experiment. Many thanks also for all your great comments on my last Corsica album. Piana Calanques and Scandola Marine Reservation are very beautiful with the colorful rocks and the water so clear and blue with a lot of pretty fishes, almost a paradisiac tropical island in France! I am happy my shots plases to you. Dear Suresh, hope you are very fine and happy, and wish you a magnificent day. With warm regards, Geneviève

Suresh, it was a pleasure to watch all those pictures of the wild animals and of the Massai people. As always, very beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing them with all of us! Thanks also for your recent visits to my albums of Italy and for your kind comments. Wishing you a wonderful week, Yair.
said ykarelic4
Your portraits, Suresh, as always, are stunning - whether they be flora, fauna or even people. You must have a trusting face to all and you do seem so very taken with Africa! Who could blame you! Cheers, Leslie
said bisquitzoe
Hello Suresh, what a super trip you had with all that wildlife to see. The animal & people portraits are superb, wish I could have been there myself. Many thanks for your many kinds words on my UK rare butterflies album. Sorry to hear you are getting short of butterflies in you area, but that is not unusual with todays changes of the world. Apologies for delay in replying to you but I have been away again, bad weather this year but hope to produce an album soon. Eric
said ericy202
Hi Suresh, all I can say is 'Wow' This album was so nice to watch by slideshow. It's like something you'd see at the end of a wildlife show on the television, only better. It must have been so delightful to be there, not only seeing the animals, but hearing them too. All the best, George in a dark Shetland isle, Scotland
said gpleask
My dear Suresh, a Million thanks for letting me know about this amazing Collection of Images.

My dear Suresh!! What a treat it was to view this album full of such magnificent photography. As always, your expert execution and editing is so evident. Thank you for having us come along for the visit, it was a treat! The best to you and family, Trudy
said hamiltrudy1
Dear Suresh, here you have presented a wonderful album with excellent captures and interesting information. As I have always had a soft corner for the African bush, its wild life and the indigenous people (Massai), I have immensely enjoyed this Safari tour with you through different regions in East and South Africa. You have captured most impressive scenes and the wonderful wild animals in their natural habitat so masterly, Suresh - my compliment and hearty thanks! With warm regards and best wishes, Erika
said elka51
Good morning Suresh: thank you for presenting so typical aspects of Kenya, for giving us an idea of the overwhelming macrofaunal variety. We can be thankful that an African country succeeded to keep large surfaces nearly untouched, or at least returned to a natural equilibrium. - Excellent pictures!- With cordial wishes: Kaethi and Henri/Heinz

Wow !!!Hi Suresh,my friend this album is awesome beautiful!!Thanks so many for sharing, Big Greetings;)
said nuberos
Hi Suresh. This is an album to be feasting eyes on for forever more! You're absolutely right about the addiction to Africa. I believe there's no place on the face of the earth compares to this continent and its amazing wildlife. Thanks for sharing your views of Kenya and its wonders with us. And thanks for the nice comments on my Soroa Waterfalls album. That's an enchanting place in western Cuba. I took most of the waterfall shots at 1/10 shutter speed or lower, all hand-held because I forgot to carry the tripod for that trip. Anyway, I'm quite happy with the results and your expert eye as a photographer bears this out, doesn't it? Warmest regards to you, my dear friend. Jorge.

Amazing album Suresh! How wonderful to give this gift to us! To ponder nature in Africa!! how fortunate for you. Your images are just breath taking. Thank you! ~Sam
said samohsong
I watched it four times and I'll be back in the Desktop Manager to watch it again! It might be your BEST album to date - though ALL your albums are a treat! - and it contains some images that come from the hand of a professional! Aren't we the lucky ones that you choose to share such interesting captures with us all?! I felt as if I went on safari with you! Thank you for this delightful experience! Best regards, Gabriela

Hello Suresh, this album is very beautiful. I really enjoyed all your wonderful captures of the birds/wildlife and the Massai portraits are great too. Thanks for taking us on this tour through Kenya and South Afrika. Thank you also for visiting our Autumn Colors album. Wishing you a wonderful week, all the best, Henri and Josee.

With this stunning album You paid us a cruise on Noah's Ark; I have been marvelled by the permanent close-up You entertained with sometimes very dangerous felines; The Massai portraits are of course gorgeous as signed by the Master of this domain!!!! I felt a new time through these excellent images the undescribable excitement that can provide a safari in the vast African reserves, something absolutely not to compare with a zoo visit!!! Thank You for the trip, excuse my little delay and best regards from us!
said pfjc
Hi Suresh, I love Africa, a beautiful continent. Your fine album convinced me again of the beauty of the savanah, of the abundant wildlife and of the people who live here in the middle of nowhere. Your photography is as always impressive, especially the way you captured the animals. Hats off! Thanks for visiting my Vancouver Island album. All the best, Tjebbe

I don't think there is anywhere on Earth quite like Africa, and you're right Suresh, as the birth place of humanity, it draws me, as it does you. Your photos are outstanding; I've so enjoyed viewing them, because you transpot me there through your images. Many thanks and best wishes from Keith.
said magikeith
I came to spend a few minutes, and became so engrossed I couldn't leave! Every photo is wonderful as usual, Suresh. Mike and I are all the richer for having had you share it with us. This is a part of the world we will never see with our own eyes, so are thankful to see a bit of it through yours. Blessings! Judy
said ladybug591
Suresh, What can I say - words seem inadequate for this marvelous album, impeccably done as all your albums. Happy to see you posting again. This album is so comprehensive. You obvisously had good guides so that you could even have a chance to photograph all these birds and animals. Your portraits of the Massai are first class. I hope you are making some coffee table books of your travels. Thanks for creating this magnificent album for our pleasure. Best wishes, Carol
