This morning I had my favorite Buffalo sighting, ever! My guests enjoyed this energetic Bull Fight – African Style. I was able to shoot many good images and this short video clip with one of my favorite tunes from the overture of George Bizet’s opera Carmen as soundtrack.
Have a good week 😊

This Cheetah was playing with mum – learning hunting skills at the same time!

Last night we had over 110mm rain. The rain gauges overflowed in the night, so we are not quite sure how much it really was but it was most welcome.
This Vervet Monkey enjoyed himself in the grass in front of my home this morning. He harvested insects in plenty 😊

Thanda’s dominant male Lions presented for a sorry – but still impressive – sight all doused in rain water after 24 hours of drizzle.

The sun only came through for a few minutes on this overcast and rainy day but the lighting was perfect for this Giraffe image.
Have a good day!
PS: Yesterday’s bird was a Wahlberg’s Eagle 🦅

This little Elephant was on the way to water and pushed right through the forest of adult Elephant legs 😊

One of Thanda Safari’s dominant male Lions was looking across the reserve on a rainy afternoon.
We got the first light, very welcome rains of the season 🌧.

I love the spectacular African sunsets. But sunrises can also result in magnificent pictures. Last week I spent quite a bit of time in the mornings at Thanda House dam. This is my favorite sunrise image.
Have a good week 😊

Giraffe necks are quite long and they use them efficiently for their own grooming. But looking at the overall animals their necks are too short!
Why? Because adult Giraffe have to spread their front legs apart in a very awkward and vulnerable posture to be able to drink. I have not seen any other mammal that has to do these sort of acrobatics to get a drink.
Conclusion: Their necks are too short or their legs are too long 😊

It never gets old. I can watch these African sunsets over and over again.
Good night 💤
