Horses | Birds | Wildlife | Food | Beautiful Place | Pakamisa!

I spent another five very enjoyable days at Pakamisa Private Game Reserve and did quite a bit of photography work.

These are only a few of the images I took during my stay!

Photo shooting Arabian Horses,

… taking images of riders cantering on the reserve,

… capturing birds in Pakamisa’s beautiful gardens,

… working with Pakamisa’s kitchen team on pictures for new menu items,

… photographing wildlife on game drives and

…. last but not least capturing the beauty of Pakamisa itself.

Thanda (my South African work place and home) and Pakamisa are my two favorite places in Africa!

My Great-Uncle would have been proud!

In the 1950s and 1960s my great-uncle, Werner Knecht, was a well known food photographer in Switzerland. He would have been proud to know that three of my food images were published in a South African magazine called “Urban Life’n Style”.

Have a look at this article about Pakamisa’s Head Chef Thandeka Nxumalo and her recipes at http://issuu.com/urbanlifenstyle/docs/april_2015/68.

Pakamisa is a private game reserve in KwaZulu Natal focusing on horseback safaris. It features a five star lodge with stunning vistas and an excellent cuisine.
