An Elephant’s trunk contains approx 40,000 muscles. The whole human body has 639. It is any incredible flexible tool, used like a syringe to transfer water into the mouth, used to tear off grass with its prehensile lips, used to break off branches from trees, used to throw dust and mud on the Elephant’s body, …

On my way back home from a town visit I encountered this beautiful African Rock Python. I got out of the car and had a good look at this magnificent creature. Unfortunately I only had an iPhone with me so there are no close-ups 😊

This is a short video slide show of the three new Thanda Safari Lion cubs which I saw for the first time this afternoon. They were a bit skittish, a bit curious, and very cute!

Two Woolly-necked Storks were watching this Cheetah male passing as they were foraging on the Thanda Safari savanna for their lunch.

This is one of the occasions when I use my iPhone 12 Pro Max attached to a selfie stick to film animal encounters on the eye-level of the subjects. I used the 2.5x lens on the phone to capture this video. The camera remote app on my iWatch let me control the phone even if I could not see the screen.
The resulting video of these two mating Thanda Safari Lions is looking good!

This little Thanda Safari Elephant girl executed a perfect warning attack towards our vehicle and was quite upset when we did not react with the expected respectful retreat. Her mum just watched in – what looked like – parental amusement 😊

Act 1
A herd of Cape Buffalo arrives at a waterhole and the mud-bathing Elephants get so alarmed that they run from the water protecting their young.
Act 2
The Elephants realize that the new arrivals are no real threat but are rather small ‘cow-like’ things. So some of them return to the water and chase the Buffalo around.
Act 3
While the Elephants and Buffalo run around a group of Nyala, a family of Warthogs and many different birds arrive to get their share of the water.
Act 4
Only two Elephant bulls remain to suck the pipe which supplies fresh water to the waterhole. Everything has calmed down and all the different species share the place!
