PLAYFUL

Little Elephants are very playful, especially around water 😊 Have a good weekend!

Yesterday afternoon we were looking for Elephants and found them busy munching fresh green grass in a broken dam basin. I recommend that you watch this video twice. Once with your eyes open and once with your eyes closed (to experience the sounds properly).

We stayed for a long time to observe them converting a ‘long grass field’ quietly into a nicely cut ‘sports field’ 😊

ORANGE EYES

This is my favorite picture from this afternoon’s game drive. My Thanda Safari Wellness Weekend guests were fascinated by the beautiful orange eyes of this Southern White-faced Owl.

DINNER

When I picked up a stone which was resting against a tree in the Thanda House garden I interrupted this Scorpion having his Grasshopper-meal. It was fascinating to watch him trying to find a new hiding place to finish his dinner in peace and quiet.

I took this picture with iPhone which works very well for these type of macro shots.

GROUNDED!

This Lapped-faced Vulture was grounded in today’s heavy rains, which gave me a chance to get a close-up portrait! … and it is still raining at Thanda …
