It is a highlight of any Safari to watch Lion cubs 😊
Have a good week!

THE EVENING POST – CUBS
THE EVENING POST – REUNION
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 😊

THE EVENING POST – EXTRA SECURITY
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 😊

THE EVENING POST – LION’S ROAR BY ROOT
This is the second video with music from the album ‘Under the Marula Tree’ by ROOT, a local band. It features some of my pictures and videos taken at Thanda Safari.
The music is composed to symbolize African nature icons (eg sunrises, Lions, Elephants, …). This very special album is available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer for streaming and download! https://root.hearnow.com/
Enjoy the Lion’s Roar 😊

THE EVENING POST – THE LOOK
One of the most intimidating situation is a male Lion looking straight into your eyes. This is not a high quality image but it captures the situation perfectly! Good night …

THE MORNING POST – QUIET
Sometimes it is better to be very quiet and to make not a move. A herd of Cape Buffalo had chased a pride of Lions around and this Lioness went straight up into a tree. The Buffalo could still smell her but not see her.
The herd spent hours around the area and the Lions had to wait in the trees until the Buffalo had departed!

THE MORNING POST – JULY RAINS
We had some winter rain this morning. Together with very cold wind it made for unattractive safari conditions. Most of the animals had the same thoughts and stayed somewhere deep in the bush.
But I got this picture of one of our male Lions looking a bit sorry for himself 😊. Made it worthwhile to go out!

THE EVENING POST – LITTLE LION
We had a good evening game drive. This little male Lion was posing for the camera.
Have a good evening 😊

THE EVENING POST – CONFUSION
The situation in this picture looks a bit like confusion. Nyalas running one way and a Lioness staring the other way. But in fact the Lioness chased an Nyala bull, missed him and was now out of breath. The Nyala females kept going for a while.
Enjoy your evening!
