Elephants in front of Thanda House

A few hours ago I saw three Elephant bulls approaching the waterhole in front of my home. I drove down to them to take some picture of their mud-bath. Only a few meters away they ‘tusked’ more mud up to throw it onto themselves. I love watching Elephants!

They love a good fight …

A Zebra argument!

Ten Years

On 22 September 2012 I did my first game drive with one of Thanda Safari’s most experienced trackers: Bheki Ngubane. Ten years later we are still working as a team. My sincere thanks to a great colleague and an excellent teacher. I learned more about the bush from Bheki than from all of my nature books together!

Following cats at discrete distance!

One of my favorite pastimes …

A ‘little’ agitated!

4 new cubs …

Four four month old Cheetah cubs are now roaming on Thanda Safari with their mom!

They were born in a boma (a large hold pen) where there mother had been put for medical reasons.

This is the second time she gave birth and looked after her cubs for the first four months of their life in a boma. The first time she brought up her three cubs successfully until they reached adulthood in the wild. She taught them all the skills to hunt and survive by themselves.

Thanda Safari’s Wildlife team will be observing this Cheetah family and all of us at Thanda hope that the four new cubs will do as well as their older siblings.
