At the end of yesterday evening’s game drive I took this picture of a male Giraffe walking along a ridge on Thanda Safari. It is these moments that make my job so special!

One of the most coveted bird sightings in our area is that of Pink-throated Twinspots. This morning Bheki, my very experienced Thanda Safari tracker, spotted four of these beautiful birds and I was lucky to get this shot of a male. I do not often post bird pictures on my photography channel (as I have dedicated birding Instagram and Facebook accounts for bird photography @ChristianSperkaBirding), but I thought this was too beautiful to let it pass!
