What is the group name for Pied Crows?
A murder of Crows 😊 A rather dramatic name for these good looking members of the clean up crew (Pied Crows are mainly scavengers). Have a good bird Wednesday, stay home and stay safe!

With many adults performing essential services on Thanda Safari a few young children are on lock down on the reserve with their parents.
When I took little Sambulo and his parents on a game drive the young gentleman tried on my safari hat 😊.
We saw Lions, Rhinos, Buffalo and a lot of general game and he enjoyed the drive very much. But Sambulo was also a bit disappointed with me as I did not show him Elephants.
But as we are locked down until the end of the month I am sure there will be a chance for another drive to track down the Ellies! Stay home and stay safe 😊

Today I did a single animal safari. I ran into a White Rhino bull who was on a territorial walk and I stayed with him for 2 hours observing his behavior.
This is a 3 minute YouTube video summary with video footage and a few pictures of my afternoon with ‘just’ one Rhino 😊
Have a good evening, stay home and stay safe!

Today I had to go on a food shopping town trip and had no time for a game drive.
But I thought you might enjoy this short isiZulu lesson from my tracker Bheki which I recorded a while ago. Bheki and I have been working together for the last 7.5 years and he has been demonstrating the special clicking sounds of the Zulu language (c, x and q) many times to our Thanda Safari guests.
Today he is demonstrating them for you! Since the beginning of the South African National Lock Down Bheki is at home with his family. I miss the game drives with my favorite wing-man!
Have a good evening, stay home and stay safe!

As I looked down the road ahead during yesterday’s game drive I got this interesting shot of a large male Giraffe.

Elephants are most impressive. A fully grown adult male will weight around 6,000kg (13,000lbs). The largest recorded specimen (in Angola 1956) was about 11,000kg (24,000lbs).
But for me the most impressive side is their intelligence. Whenever I meet them on Safari their behavior in such encounters sets them apart from all other mammals (with the exception of Primates). They are far less predictable than any other species and therefore have to be treated with a lot of respect and caution.
I met this beautiful specimen a few years ago in Namibia. And I will probably not surprise you when I tell you that I respectfully withdrew from his path 😊
Enjoy your day, stay home and stay safe!
