My favorite place …

… on Thanda is definitely a place we call ‘The Savanna’. It is an open area in the North of the reserve which incorporates two waterholes and is crossed by one of Thanda’s major roads.

These are nine pictures I took on the savanna just in the last two weeks.

Enjoy this heaven for wildlife photographer!
