THE MORNING POST – A BIT LATE

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!

THE MORNING POST – BOYS WILL BE BOYS

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!

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!

THE EVENING POST – CONFUSION

The situation in this picture looks a bit like confusion. Nyalas running one way and a Lioness staring the other way. But in fact the Lioness chased an Nyala bull, missed him and was now out of breath. The Nyala females kept going for a while.

Enjoy your evening!

THE MORNING POST – GOLDEN LIGHT

I love the beautiful golden light on these Giraffes just as the sun sets.

Have a good day!

WHICH BIRD IS THIS? WEDNESDAY – THE MORNING POST

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!

THE EVENING POST – ALMOST LIVE

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 😊
