Restore my faith that not all travellers are only interested in the Big 5 … submit your favourite game reserve or nature photo and win! The only spec is that it cannot be a photo of a Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Rhino or an Elephant. Oh, and amateur photographers only please.
Your photo will be featured and credited in our January 2010 newsletter and in line with our Theme for November 2009 (Going Wild in South Africa … The Big 5 and Beyond), you’ll win a special something which will make it that much easier for you to spot game, though they’ll also come in handy at the next rugby match you attend.
Photographs submitted will be featured here for all to admire (so bookmark this page and come back daily to check out your competition). If you have a favourite, help us to choose the winner by leaving your vote below in the comments area.
The Prize:
Nikon Sporter EX 10×50 Binoculars (brand spanking new and valued at R2100)
Lightweight, easy to use, water- and fog-proof, with a rubber coating for a more comfortable grip. The Sporter EX 10×50 has multi-layered coatings on the lenses, an eye relief of 19.6mm and a magnification of 10x (meaning that a deer 100m away will appear just 10m away).
I have a pair of these and believe me when I say that they make a game drive a far more rewarding experience. We’re sure you’ll love them as much as I love mine.
Specs / Conditions:
- Amateur photographers only please.
- Content must be related to game reserves or nature in South Africa – any animals except the Big 5, plantlife, landscapes, sunsets, 4×4 vehicles – anything that took your fancy on a game drive or bush walk.
