STAY-AT-HOME TUESDAY

With many adults performing essential services on Thanda Safari a few young children are on lock down on the reserve with their parents.

When I took little Sambulo and his parents on a game drive the young gentleman tried on my safari hat 😊.

We saw Lions, Rhinos, Buffalo and a lot of general game and he enjoyed the drive very much. But Sambulo was also a bit disappointed with me as I did not show him Elephants.

But as we are locked down until the end of the month I am sure there will be a chance for another drive to track down the Ellies! Stay home and stay safe 😊

LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI XXII

A minute of tranquility! At the end of a game drive I often stop at the waterhole next to Thanda House. I close my eyes for a few minutes and just listen to the sounds of nature.

I have recorded the sounds and prepared a short 1 minute ‘audio video’ for you in case you want to try this at home.

Stay home and stay safe!

Today I did a single animal safari. I ran into a White Rhino bull who was on a territorial walk and I stayed with him for 2 hours observing his behavior.

This is a 3 minute YouTube video summary with video footage and a few pictures of my afternoon with ‘just’ one Rhino 😊

Have a good evening, stay home and stay safe!

LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI XX

Today I had to go on a food shopping town trip and had no time for a game drive.

But I thought you might enjoy this short isiZulu lesson from my tracker Bheki which I recorded a while ago. Bheki and I have been working together for the last 7.5 years and he has been demonstrating the special clicking sounds of the Zulu language (c, x and q) many times to our Thanda Safari guests.

Today he is demonstrating them for you! Since the beginning of the South African National Lock Down Bheki is at home with his family. I miss the game drives with my favorite wing-man!

Have a good evening, stay home and stay safe!
