While browsing through some of my older images today I found this Leopard picture I took many years ago. It was never published. So here it is now.
Enjoy your weekend 🙂

I recently bought a new iPhone 5s – I was missing it 🙂 – and I also started to post images on Instagram.

Most of the images I post on Instagram will be different from the ones on my Blog, Facebook and Google+ and usually come with very little text :-).
Enjoy them!

World Rhino Day 2014

On the rough roads again ……
Hurray! The insurance company paid out yesterday and I got my new Toyota Fortuner today 🙂
After my incident with the cow (http://wp.me/P1rzfb-1js) my old car was written off and I drove a small rental VW Polo for the last month. The little car served me well but I could not go all places I wanted to go or needed to go.
That’s over now. I am back in a Fortuner and ready for the rough roads and the rain-season-weather ahead.
But NO cows please 🙂
Modern Times :-)
Website/Blog – www.sperka.com
Well, as more and more of you are using mobile devices (touch-pads and smart-phones) I have decided to change my website/blog and my picture-galleries-site to more modern – mobile-device-enabled – formats.
Have a look at both sites and let me know what you think!

The new Thanda Wedding Brochure!
We worked hard on this new brochure, and I think it turned out very well – have a look!
PS: And it even has a few of my own wedding and wildlife pics in it 🙂
Please have a browse of our beautiful new Thanda Wedding flipbook which is available to view online.
There’s nothing more magical or more memorable than a new life started in the African wilderness. We have hosted many a magical wedding at Thanda, with each celebration as individual as the bridal couple themselves. In Zulu culture, marriage is seen as a way to build ubuntu – a shared belief in the importance of compassion, humanity and community. It’s for this reason that weddings at Thanda are celebrated with such great spirit and collective passion.

If this tree could tell stories …
I do not often take scenery images which I really like. But the simplicity of this tree makes the pictures 🙂
… it would recount the many beautifully romantic wedding ceremonies that have been held underneath it on our game reserve.
The Marula tree is often the spiritual centre for rituals and also regarded by the Zulu’s as the ‘fertility tree’ or ‘marriage tree’.
Our Marula tree can be found on a plateau on top of a hill in the heart of the reserve, with the rolling hills of Zululand in the background. This year alone it has witnessed five happy couples tie the knot – some had chosen to travel from within South Africa whilst others had journeyed from much further afield (USA, UK and even Australia) to celebrate their special occasion in this unique setting. Marriage ceremonies have varied between smaller, more private weddings whilst others have been lively celebrations for over 80 guests lasting several days!

Constant argument!
Baboons have a lot of arguments. Especially the young ones are constantly busy with playful fighting.
I enjoy watching them as long as they stay out of my room 🙂
