One feels rather small when a large Elephant focuses his attention on the open safari vehicle one is sitting in, even if it is only for a few seconds.
This is one of the oldest and largest bulls on Thanda Safari. We estimate his weight over 6 tons (=3 Land Rovers 😊).
PS: Today’s morning post bird was a White-backed Vulture

What bird is this? – I will post the result this evening!
It was a great pleasure to see your two dominate male Lions again this morning.
The last few weeks they roamed the rolling hills of western part of the reserve and have not been spotted for quite a while.
I love eye shots of cats walking towards the camera!
Have a good evening 😊

This is the fourth video with music from the album ‘Under the Marula Tree’ by ROOT, a local band. It features some of my pictures and videos taken at Thanda Safari.
The music is composed to symbolize African nature icons (eg sunrises, Lions, Elephants, …). This very special album is available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer for streaming and download! https://root.hearnow.com/
All ROOT videos are available on their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMXQv3FdJsIERJHHKt0rX2w
Enjoy the Warthog Wisdom 😊

This evening this Thanda Safari Cheetah male gave a good yawn before he got up to move off. Interesting fact: Large cats in general announce their intention to walk away by yawing a few times.
Have a good week!
