Europe! I am on my way!

Today I am leaving for a few weeks trip to Europe (Germany 🇩🇪 , Switzerland 🇨🇭 and The Netherlands 🇳🇱). I am looking forward to seeing my family and many of my friends again after almost two years of COVID-19 prescribed travel ban. During this period I will post less about wildlife 🐘 but a bit about my travels 🧳 . Early November I will be back in South Africa to resume my usual posts. I hope you will enjoy my travel diary 😊

Spiral horns in soft light!

Nyalas are some of my favorite antelopes. I took this picture of a young male on Thanda Safari in the most beautiful evening light.

Having fun!

A baby White Rhino had a lot of fun, when its mum decided to have a mud bath in between a herd of Cape Buffalo. My guests enjoyed this very special sighting just as then sun had set this evening!

World Rhino Day 2021

Today is World Rhino Day, to raise awareness of the importance of Rhinos conservation. This is a picture of my favorite species: The Black Rhino @thandasafari. Have a good 🦏 day!

On a mission …

In this picture one of Thanda Safari’s male Lions was tracking some females using his sense of smell.

The morning after I took this image he had caught up with the ladies, who were ‘hanging out’ with the dominate male, my photo model’s brother.

He therefore kept a respectful distance to the pride to avoid any conflicts.

Just cute …

WITH LOGO!

Sometimes a space in a picture invites the placement of a logo. Last weekend I took this Giraffe picture at Pakamisa in beautifully moody evening light.

A journey of Giraffes passed by the stables after all the horses were put into their boxes for the night. I think the logo fits neatly into the frame 😊.
