We had some winter rain this morning. Together with very cold wind it made for unattractive safari conditions. Most of the animals had the same thoughts and stayed somewhere deep in the bush.
But I got this picture of one of our male Lions looking a bit sorry for himself 😊. Made it worthwhile to go out!

A group of Zebra is called a dazzle. This picture, which I took this morning, illustrates why it is called that 😊
Have a good week!

Today’s morning post is a bit late but I think the image compensated for the delay. One of Thanda Safari’s female Cheetah had a good look around for a tree perch. One of her three cubs joined her on the tree. The littles ones are doing very well, growing up fast 😊
Enjoy your Saturday!

Adult Nyala usually fight very little. Instead they use a slow dance around one another to determine the more impressive winner of their comparison contest.
But young Nyala do what boys do – they have a little fight from time to time.
Enjoy your Saturday!

We had a good evening game drive. This little male Lion was posing for the camera.
Have a good evening 😊

This is a link to an article published 12 hours ago on Forbes.com by renowned travel writer Margie Goldsmith. It’s about an ‘Armchair Sound Safari’ and it features some of my pictures and some of my sound recordings 😊.
Enjoy the sounds of Thanda Safari and have a good weekend!

The situation in this picture looks a bit like confusion. Nyalas running one way and a Lioness staring the other way. But in fact the Lioness chased an Nyala bull, missed him and was now out of breath. The Nyala females kept going for a while.
Enjoy your evening!

I love the beautiful golden light on these Giraffes just as the sun sets.
Have a good day!

First the answer to this morning’s bird question: Lilac-breasted Roller.
Second, this is a short time-lapse video of six White Rhinos having a rest and then walking away. I love the constantly wiggling ears 🙂
Have a good evening!

I am going to start a new series of posts. It is called WHICH IS THIS BIRD? WEDNESDAY. Every Wednesday morning I will post a South African bird picture. It will be your job to identify the bird 😊.
I will post the result in the evening post on the same day. Some will be easy to ID and some will be more tricky.
I hope you will have fun with this. Let’s start with bird #1, an easy one!
