LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI XXVII

I live in a magical place. These are four images I took today today:

5:48 (am) at Thanda House just before I left in the morning

6:22 (am) in the western part of the reserve as the sun started burning away the morning mist

17:09 (5:09pm) am Elephant walking west just as the sun was setting

17:57 (5:57pm) after the sun had set three Giraffe bulls were fighting on the savanna as I was on my way home

Have a good weekend, stay home and stay safe!

LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI XXII

A minute of tranquility! At the end of a game drive I often stop at the waterhole next to Thanda House. I close my eyes for a few minutes and just listen to the sounds of nature.

I have recorded the sounds and prepared a short 1 minute ‘audio video’ for you in case you want to try this at home.

Stay home and stay safe!

LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI XVIII

We had 40mm rain last night 😊 and the roads on the reserve are still very wet and many of them are not drive-able until they have dried up. So this evening I am not going out on drive and therefore there will be no new material today.

But I thought you might enjoy the small Warthog video I recorded yesterday morning. The pig enjoyed a good scratch after its mud bath.

For a bit of a laugh – Stay home and stay safe!
