… from Christian – with a picture of Thanda Safari Cheetahs taken on Christmas Eve 2020


This is the view from the waterhole-deck at Thanda Safari’s Villa iZulu – While my guests were relaxing while watching the wildlife come and go a few Cape Buffalo bulls were also relaxing around the water.

Yesterday afternoon: My first Leopard sighting for a long time. He was quite relaxed and walked in front of us in bright daylight.
My guests were thrilled and so was I 😊

These little ones look very funny when they move in a passel (the collective noun for pigs). As I came home yesterday evening I took this short iphone video of a ‘pig family in a hurry’.
Enjoy your weekend 😊

This herd of Cape Buffalo went into alert mode when they heard Lions roaring nearby. These formidable bovines hate cats and will chase and kill them if they get a chance.
But on this occasion the two protagonists of the drama never met.

Of all the spiral-horned antelopes the Male Kudu are my favorite. These incredible creatures can jump as high as 3.5m (~12′) under stress!
Have a good week 😊

I love baby Rhinos with an attitude. This little boy gave me some good snorts. But when I switched on the vehicle he did a high-speed retreat to mum 😊

This Thanda Safari Zebra calf got rid of far too much stored energy by jumping and running around. The video is not of great quality by it is a joy to watch. Have a good week!
