Imagine that you are a photographer and you will spend twenty hours in five sessions in superbly built birding hides!

Well, that is what I did in the last few days 🙂  And here are some of the resulting images.

Enjoy this gallery of bird pictures (and also some mammals pictures), which were taken at Zimanga Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa (www.zimanga.com). Zimanga specializes in purpose built photographic hides and the results are stunning.

A paradise for bird photographers!

To showcase this beautiful place I will follow-up this blog with ten more picture blog in the next weeks. Enjoy the images!

Vigilant ‘house cats’, the neighbours’ kits at play and an excited gentleman in front of the house!

Well, this title might be a bit misleading 🙂

When I left Thanda House this afternoon for a quick visit to friends on a neighbouring reserve, I left Thanda’s two Cheetah boys in charge of perimeter security around Thanda House.20150710 - CS3_6787 - C

As I drove onto the reserve where my friends live, I took pictures of two little White Rhinos at play. 20150710 - CS3_6864 - C

And when I got back to Thanda a young Elephant bull gave me a rather excited welcome. From the way he reacted to my vehicle, looking at the glands on his forehead and judging from other obvious signs of excitement :-), he may be getting into musth.20150710 - CS3_6794 - C

Not the regular house cats, not the average kits at play and a rather unusual excited gentleman in front of the house, but another really good afternoon in the African bush!
