HOT DAY AT THE WATERHOLE

Yesterday midday I stopped by one of our largest waterholes and stayed for an hour.

It was an impressive scene with a large bull Elephant bathing, over two hundred Cape Buffalo relaxing around the water, many dazzles of Burchell’s Zebra and many herds of Blue Wildebeest coming and going, sounders of Warthogs playing in the mud, and many different bird species having a drink.

I only had my iPhone with me so I took a few video clips instead of my usual photography. What a Sunday treat!

I wish all of you a good week ahead!

A Cheetah Study!

This evening we had a beautiful Cheetah sighting on Thanda Safari. These are a few of the images I took of these incredible creatures. Have a good weekend!

The pictures were taken with a Canon EOS R6 Camera and a Canon EF 1/500 f/4 L lens.

Angry Bird!

This Yellow-billed Hornbill had a very serious expression when it took its afternoon sand bath!

Looking for the ladies!

Yesterday morning our two dominant male Lions were scanning a valley and following a scent trail in search for two young females. We had tracked the them for a few kilometers when we found them on top of a hill displaying themselves in all their ‘majesty’. But they never caught up with the ladies on that morning.

Good bye …

As we approached the Thanda Safari gate this morning one of our Lioness just passed the gate. This was a very special ‘good bye’ surprise for our guests after their three day stay with many exciting sightings.

First pictures …

… taken with my new Canon EOS R6 camera…

This afternoon I went on the first game drive with my newest and first mirrorless camera. It has amazing capabilities in terms of low-light-photography and speed. With a special adapter I can use all my lenses (as the f/4 500mm shown in one of the pictures). I am working on fine-tuning the setup which is key for motion photography.

I am looking forward to producing many interesting wildlife shots with my new tool!

That’s it … Twenty Lions!

On 10 August was World Lion Day. Instead of only one picture post for the occasion I thought I post twenty of my favorite Lion images, one for each of my twenty years of wildlife photography from 2001 to 2021. Enjoy the last seven pictures of this festival of Lions! #14-20
