To photograph - well, I constantly found myself at a disadvantage with my Nikon D 300 vis a vis Howard's Nikon D700 - the latter has a clear advantage of 2 to 2.5 stops. I must get one of these Nikon low light bodies (D700 or D3s) before I go next time! Those towers are called "watchtowers" and four of them are open to tourists at a charge, as are elephants to venture off road - but both these options are not great for animal photography because of the 'top down' viewing angle.
