Lion Tension

One of Thanda Safari’s dominant males was keeping a youngster at bay while he was mating with his mother. But she (on the left) was very unhappy how her son was treated by her mate. The young male’s sister (on the right) jumped out of the way as her brother was disciplined.

Colors!

I am happy to be back at Thanda Safari for a few days with my guests from Switzerland and the USA.

Before we had visited Durban, iSimamgsliso Wetland Park and Pakamisa Private Game Reserve. This colorful picture of my tracker Bheki Ngubane I took last night after the sun had set!

Next week I am off to my next tour to Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Kruger National Park and KwaZulu Natal with another American guest.

Chewing …

Watching a Giraffe chewing a bone while eleven Red-billed Oxpeckers were hunting for prey!

De-Ticking Service!

This Red-billed Oxpecker was removing a blood-sucking Tick from the ear of an Impala.

WINTER COLORS …

… are very special. Long after the sun had set the sky was still glowing in red tones as this Giraffe passed by my vehicle (I was using the red light on the Green Mamba to illuminate the foreground).

10 TEN YEARS ON THANDA!

On 8th of June, ten years ago, I arrived at Thanda Safari. Since then I have called this incredible game reserve my home and my place of work.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to live the dream and work as Resident Wildlife Photographer on this beautiful property and I am looking forward to many more years at Thanda Safari.
