On my way to pick up my guests, I took this picture of the incredibly beautiful sky over Thanda this morning. 

The pair of Wahlberg’s Eagles in the tree is nesting close to my home as they do every year. I hope you had a good start into 2025.

After almost two years without a dedicated photography game viewing vehicle, I am happy to announce that the new Green Mamba II is now in service.

My sincere thanks to Thanda Safari management for making this joint venture possible.

The expertly converted Toyota Land Cruiser has all the extra features of the retired Green Mamba and some new ones. She is now available to photographers or guests who would like to experience truly luxurious private game drives. As guide and photographer I will not only conduct the private safaris but also provide pictures of all sightings to my guests as part of this special service.

All the details about this exceptional vehicle are available at https://sperka.info/the-green-mamba-ii/

If you will be staying as a guest at Thanda Safari and you are interested in driving with me on the Green Mamba II during your stay, please contact Thanda at reservations@thanda.co.za.

If you have any questions about the new vehicle or my services, you can contact me via WhatsApp at +27633294323.

When I returned to Thanda Safari from Pakamisa in the late afternoon, I decided to watch the sunset from my favorite spot at one of our largest waterholes.

After two very enjoyable days with friends, I experienced this beautiful scene under heavy rain clouds.

I hope you had a good Christmas Day and I wish you a relaxing Boxing Day (Zweiter Weihnachtsfeiertag).

Some of my favorite images from the last week. I hope you will enjoy them.

It took all these pictures today on Thanda. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much I enjoyed taking them.

Have a good weekend!

As of today the Jumeirah Group, a globally renowned luxury hospitality brand, has taken over the management of Thanda Safari and Thanda Island (as announced today by the Thanda Group CEO in an open letter to our guests). 

I will continue to live at Thanda House and I will continue to offer my photographic services to guests at both Jumeirah Thanda Safari and The Royal Thanda Club.

Until mid 2025 the Thanda Safari Lodge and the Thanda Tented Camp will still be managed by the Thanda Group. All existing and future bookings will be honored.

The Thanda Group will retain ownership of the business and continue to oversee the reserve and wildlife management, as well as all the philanthropic programmes. I will remain part of the Thanda organization.

Exciting changes ahead 😊
