From time to time a game drive can have a difficult start if one of Thanda’s Elephant villa decides to have a snack in the driveway to the Lodge. But our guests enjoyed observing this gentle giant for a quite a while.

LITTLE LIONS are one of my favorite photography subjects. These two did a synchronized walk for my photo shoot 😊

An Elephant’s trunk contains over 40,000 muscles. A human body contains a mere 639 muscles!

The last bird ringing with James Rawdon was a big success so we are repeating the exercise from 25 to 27 June.
… and I will be around to take bird and ‘guest with bird’ pictures, and help with bird photography questions.
Don’t miss this weekend and get up close and personal with our birds 😊

I took this picture when the Giraffe mum was in a hurry to get to the waterhole and the little one was trying to get a drink at the same time.
And the mother was chewing a bone from a carcass to replenish minerals in her body while she was striding towards the water.

My Green Mamba at Thanda Safari’s Sulela Dam this evening just as the sun set.
I love winter evenings!

It was very relaxing watching a Cheetah mum and her three cubs resting on the Thanda Safari savanna as the sun started to set.
I hope you are also having a relaxing weekend!
