Today’s morning post is a bit late but I think the image compensated for the delay. One of Thanda Safari’s female Cheetah had a good look around for a tree perch. One of her three cubs joined her on the tree. The littles ones are doing very well, growing up fast 😊
Enjoy your Saturday!

Adult Nyala usually fight very little. Instead they use a slow dance around one another to determine the more impressive winner of their comparison contest.
But young Nyala do what boys do – they have a little fight from time to time.
Enjoy your Saturday!

We had a good evening game drive. This little male Lion was posing for the camera.
Have a good evening 😊

This is a link to an article published 12 hours ago on Forbes.com by renowned travel writer Margie Goldsmith. It’s about an ‘Armchair Sound Safari’ and it features some of my pictures and some of my sound recordings 😊.
Enjoy the sounds of Thanda Safari and have a good weekend!

I love the beautiful golden light on these Giraffes just as the sun sets.
Have a good day!

I am going to start a new series of posts. It is called WHICH IS THIS BIRD? WEDNESDAY. Every Wednesday morning I will post a South African bird picture. It will be your job to identify the bird 😊.
I will post the result in the evening post on the same day. Some will be easy to ID and some will be more tricky.
I hope you will have fun with this. Let’s start with bird #1, an easy one!

I was quickly checking one of our waterholes just before sunset and I was taking a video of a Giraffe drinking when I heard very soft steps behind my vehicle.
As I turned around a breeding herd of Elephants rushed past me and reached the water as the sun had disappeared under the horizon. This is a short video of the Ellies taken a few minutes ago.
Enjoy your evening 😊

I love winter mornings when the mist takes its time to rise and disappear 😊
Enjoy your Sunday!

The markings of a Leopard are one of the most incredible designs of nature. The rosette design of the coats of these elusive cats allow them to ‘disappear’ within meters/yards of the observer.
I have seen Leopards walk of a road into a thicket and just vanish. Only once they move (even as little as an ear or the tip of the tail) I was often able to locate them again. And believe me, they are masters in ‘holding still’ and being patient. Many times they were just gone, as a magician from a stage!
Enjoy your weekend 😊
