Have a guess what Thanda’s dominant male is looking at in this picture!
What is he looking at?
Chewing bones, parking backwards, fishing large and catching big!
A strange title for a blog?
Yes, but these images explain it all …
… a female Nyala chewing on a bone to get some extra calcium during the dry season.
… two Elephants wetting their bums by backing into a waterhole.
… a Seagull catching a very large fish!
… and a little Bee-Eater catching a ‘big’ Butterfly.
I really enjoy these unusual sightings – remarkably uncommon 🙂
Thanda Cats
Watching Africa’s iconic large cats – Lion, Leopard and Cheetah – is always a special treat on any safari. But these three sighting were even more exciting than usual. First we saw Thanda’s dominant male Lion mating with the oldest female of the Mduna pride. Then we observed a young Cheetah female doing what Cheetahs ‘never do’, climbing up a tree trunk. And last but not least we sat with a relaxed and very beautiful male Leopard for quite a while, in broad day light!
A pleasure for the Thanda guests and great picture opportunities for all Wildlife photographers among them!
Brothers!
… no more words, just the image …
Thanda Year 10
These are four images I used in the last part of the campaign celebrating the last few days of Thanda’s 10th anniversary year!
They really show how magical and beautiful the place is.

A Zululand Sunrise
Yesterday morning we have witnessed one of the most beautiful sunrises since I have arrived at Thanda.
The multi-colored light beams from behind the massive clouds creates a stunning effect.
I love Zululand!
That’s it! – Fourteen for the Villa! (14)
I have selected fourteen images which are now hanging in two of the suites at Thanda’s Villa iZulu. These are some of my favorite images and I have prepared them in sepia to match the existing old-fashioned frames. This is the last of these images. I have also included a gallery with all fourteen pictures below. Enjoy them!
