One feels rather small when a large Elephant focuses his attention on the open safari vehicle one is sitting in, even if it is only for a few seconds.
This is one of the oldest and largest bulls on Thanda Safari. We estimate his weight over 6 tons (=3 Land Rovers 😊).
PS: Today’s morning post bird was a White-backed Vulture

It was a great pleasure to see your two dominate male Lions again this morning.
The last few weeks they roamed the rolling hills of western part of the reserve and have not been spotted for quite a while.
I love eye shots of cats walking towards the camera!
Have a good evening 😊

This evening this Thanda Safari Cheetah male gave a good yawn before he got up to move off. Interesting fact: Large cats in general announce their intention to walk away by yawing a few times.
Have a good week!

All the small antelopes are usually very shy. Yesterday morning this Common Duiker only stayed long enough for one single picture 😊
PS: This week’s Wednesday bird was a Giant Kingfisher.

This Red-billed Oxpecker was using the boss of a Cape Buffalo bull as a take-off platform 😊
Have a good week!

As I drove past Thanda Safari’s Villa iZulu this afternoon I saw a Giraffe bull staring at the gate. He did this for a good reason as one of our Lionesses had taken position in front the entrance, for a bit of extra bush security! 😊
PS: I will be taking a bit of time off and therefore only post once per day. Normal service will be restored next Friday 😊
