GENE MYERS – US – TRAVELLED WITH BILLY DODSON
Posted: 02/02/2015
I went on the February 2014 trip to Tanzania with Billy Dodson and six others. It was so much fun and so rewarding photographically and culturally that I signed up for a second trip to Namibia before I even returned home from the first one. I cannot recommend the quality of the total experience (including transportation, lodging and food) highly enough. Everything was very carefully planned and executed. I cannot imagine even very beginner photographers not being able to capture great shots.
Superb!! And Billy is a hoot!
