Pete,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have been to Kenza/Tanzania previously -- in fact this will be my 4th trip to Africa.

I (we, the group is 6) shot both mammals (love them cats) and birds -- hard to say which I prefer; probably cat behaviour.

We are debating whether to a molar bag (see McDonald's website at http://www.hoothollow.com/Question-October-November%202004.html) or two to rest of the rails, or bring a monopod/tripod w/ large wimberly head. Any suggestions? Any pictures of what worked for you?

The Ergorest looks similar to the Groofwin from LL Rue (http://www.rue.com/groofwin.html) and I agree it will be had to use.

We will have 2-3 dedicated vehicles for each of us with 1 row per person. That will allow us to shot from both sides of the vehicle and provide a bit more room.

Thanks,

Rich
