Today, I was able to deliver newly printed copies of the Thanda Cats book to the curio shops at the Safari Lodge and the Tented Camp.
The book is available for sale again to our guests for R990.
The THANDA CATS are back!
For just one day …
… I went on an excursion to Umfolozi National Park. This very scenic game reserve is the modern birth place of White Rhinos.
The park was the only place where these large creatures were left by the mid-20th century. From here, White Rhinos were relocated all over South Africa after they had been declared a protected species.
All pictures in this slideshow were taken by me today!

iPhone on EyeLevel – A Dugga Boy …
…refers to mature, solitary male African buffalo who are known for their frequent mud wallowing habits. The term is thought to be derived from the Shona word “dugga,” which translates to mud.
These bulls are frequently ill-tempered and may pose a threat, particularly if agitated. They are a familiar sight on Thanda, often seen near waterholes or mud puddles.

HAPPY EASTER!
Why Easter Bunny? The “Osterhase” (Easter Hare) or “Oschter Haws” is a German tradition of an egg-laying hare who would leave colored eggs for well-behaved children. This picture shows a South African Scrub Hare.
Productive days!
Pictures from the last 14 days taken at Thanda and iSimangaliso Wetland Park. My last few weeks were very busy, but they were also very productive for wildlife photography!

Thanda Wetlands
The area behind one of the dams at Thanda has turned into a temporary wetland, after all the rain we had over the last two months.
I hope you will enjoy this short video showing its beauty with many different bird species. Some of them are aquatic birds, which have never been recorded at Thanda before.

Golden Orb Spiders
For the last couple of years, we have only spotted very few spiders. But this season, we have had a spider explosion!
I even renamed one of the major roads in Thanda to ‘Spider Alley’.
My favorites are the Golden Orb Spiders with their beautiful colors, long legs, and golden silk webs.
Interesting fact: The female Golden Orb spiders are up to 10 times larger than the males, as the males have only one function in life!
_Photography Info: These pictures were taken with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II and two different lenses, a 800mm RF lens and a 24-240mm RF lens._
