STAY-AT-HOME MONDAY

It is a very special sighting to see a Leopard drinking. Unlike most other large mammals Leopards get most of their required water from their prey. But they still enjoy a good drink if they can get one!

Stay home and stay safe.

STAY-AT-HOME SUNDAY

I got up at 3:00am this morning to do some night sky photography on Thanda.

And I decided to capture the sunrise in a time lapse recording at my favorite waterhole.

I hope you will enjoy the short video and I hope you will have a good Sunday.

Stay home and stay safe.

STAY-AT-HOME MONDAY

The picture for this morning is of a Nile Monitor enjoying the evening sun. They are also called African Small-Grain Lizard or Water Leguaan.

Have a good week, stay home and stay safe!

STAY-AT-HOME SUNDAY

One more Ellie picture 🙂

Sometimes my Land Rover Defender gets temporarily stuck in a rut.

Sort of the same thing happened to this little Elephant baby. I think it was a bit tired from all the walking and its front legs collapsed as it stepped into the rut when the herd crossed a road.

It was comical to see how the back legs kept going but with no effect. After a few seconds an adult Elephant helped the little one by using its trunk.

As soon as it was back up the baby immediately started running after its mummy. So no harm done!

Enjoy your Sunday! Stay home and stay safe.

STAY-AT-HOME SATURDAY

Being close to Elephants is very special. I know that for many people it is terrifying. That is the reason why I make sure to keep a ‘comfort distance’ when driving with guests on safari.

But I personally do not mind to be close to these gentle giants as long as it is on their terms. Yesterday evening I was watching a breeding herd of Elephants from quite a distance when they decided to change direction and walk straight towards my vehicle. I set up my iPhone to take some video and I kept shooting with my cameras.

This picture is a closeup (taken with a 70mm lens) of an Elephant bull’s skin as he was passing in touching distance. It was exhilarating and calming at the same time to have these huge creators so very close.

I am planning to post some of the video footage this evening, but I thought you might enjoy this special picture!

Stay home and stay safe.
