DINNER

When I picked up a stone which was resting against a tree in the Thanda House garden I interrupted this Scorpion having his Grasshopper-meal. It was fascinating to watch him trying to find a new hiding place to finish his dinner in peace and quiet.

I took this picture with iPhone which works very well for these type of macro shots.

VERY GREEN

This is an aerial picture of the beautiful green Thanda Safari savanna. I took this picture this afternoon after we had heavy rain for the last few days.

… and our waterholes are full 🙂

SYNCHRONOUS

RAIN, BEAUTIFUL RAIN!

We had over 100mm of rain in the last three days at Thanda Safari. Some of our large mammals – like this Zebra – looked like they felt a bit sorry for themselves walking around with muddy hooves on slippery grounds. So far we had more than 400mm since the beginning of the year.

Let’s hope there will be more to come 😊

GROUNDED!

This Lapped-faced Vulture was grounded in today’s heavy rains, which gave me a chance to get a close-up portrait! … and it is still raining at Thanda …
