The first nine days …

This is a short slide show with pictures taken during the first nine days of my current Custom Luxury Tour. 

The trip started in Johannesburg, then continued via the Drakensberg, the Midlands, Durban/Umhlanga. We are currently at Thanda.

Pictures from Rietvlei Nature Reserve, Drakensberg Mountains, Falcon Ridge Bird of Prey Center, Drakensberg Boys Choir, Nelson Mandela Capture Site, Ardmore Ceramics, uShaka Aquarium, the Indian Ocean at Umhlanga, and Jumeirah Thanda Safari.

My guest from Nashville, Tennessee, USA, and I are having a great time. Enjoy the show with a few impressions of this trip specially designed for my 82-year-old client!

Old&New

I have mixed in a few of my older images with the pictures I took during the last five days. I hope you will enjoy the slide show! 

PS: Just for fun: Can you identify the five pictures which were taken with my iPhone and not with my Canons 🙂

Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill!

Most of the time good resolution bird pictures with a smart phone are not possible because birds are just too far away. But this Hornbill obliged by remaining in a tree just a few meters (yards) away and I got this beautiful evening light image using my iPhone.
