This is my favorite Thanda Safari Elephant video clip which I took a while ago. I am not sure if I ever shared it with you. Well, here it is (maybe again 😊).

This is a short video clip of two little Elephants during playtime at the Thanda House Dam.
Have a good day 😊

This morning I asked of which animal I took the detail pictures in the collage. The correct answer is an Elephant. And the details are: Ivory Tusk, Toe Nail, Foot Sole and Tail Hair.
Have a good evening 😊

I had an excellent evening drive. First I spent an hour in between a breeding herd of Elephants feeding all around me and then I experienced some Lion tension between two brothers. One of them was attending to a female in estrous while keeping her away from his submissive rival. A lot of growling and paw-fighting. A not so quiet Sunday 😊!
Have a good week.

Two Elephant bulls arrived while I was out to watch birds coming to the waterhole for their morning drinks. The DSLR with the long lens got a rest and I recorded this video with my iPhone.
Enjoy the show, stay home and stay safe!

As promised in this morning’s post here is a short video of yesterday’s close encounter with one of our Elephant herds.
You know you are close enough when the Ellie’s walk in your shadow 😊

Being close to Elephants is very special. I know that for many people it is terrifying. That is the reason why I make sure to keep a ‘comfort distance’ when driving with guests on safari.
But I personally do not mind to be close to these gentle giants as long as it is on their terms. Yesterday evening I was watching a breeding herd of Elephants from quite a distance when they decided to change direction and walk straight towards my vehicle. I set up my iPhone to take some video and I kept shooting with my cameras.
This picture is a closeup (taken with a 70mm lens) of an Elephant bull’s skin as he was passing in touching distance. It was exhilarating and calming at the same time to have these huge creators so very close.
I am planning to post some of the video footage this evening, but I thought you might enjoy this special picture!
Stay home and stay safe.

I live in a magical place. These are four images I took today today:
5:48 (am) at Thanda House just before I left in the morning
6:22 (am) in the western part of the reserve as the sun started burning away the morning mist
17:09 (5:09pm) am Elephant walking west just as the sun was setting
17:57 (5:57pm) after the sun had set three Giraffe bulls were fighting on the savanna as I was on my way home
Have a good weekend, stay home and stay safe!
