This Black-backed Jackal enjoyed his left-overs breakfast of an Impala kill. Our arrival had conveniently spooked a Hyena and all the Vultures who were feasting on the antelope remains. So this little one moved right in and got his fair share 😊

Together with his coalition partner this Cheetah male was stalking Wildebeests. I was too far away with the wrong lenses ☹️ to get any usable images of the subsequent chase.
But all of us were very surprised when the two Cheetahs came running over the ridge the other way a few seconds later, being pursued by two agitated Zebras. The Cheetahs ran flat out into a nearby thicket and did not reappear for a long time. It was one of these situation when the predators better get out of the way of prey if they know what is good for them 😊
PS: Adult Zebras are too large to be prey for Cheetah but Zebra foals are very much on the menu list. Result: Angry Zebras

One of my favorite Thanda Safari Leopard images. What a stare ! It felt intimidating even if I knew I was safe in the vehicle 😊

When we were returning to Thanda Safari’s Villa iZulu on a very windy afternoon we had to pass a large herd of Cape Buffalo. This is a short ‘drive by eye level video’ I took on that occasion with my iPhone 😊
Have a successful Monday!

I met this Giraffe bull on the the road on my way home. Uncharacteristically he did not step out of the way but rather decided to come closer to have a look at my plush animal collection on my dashboard 😊
Have a good week!

It is hard to envision a more dramatic setting – a beautiful White Rhino sighting under a cloudy sky in front of the rolling hills of Zululand.

When a friend cut through a piece of Red Ivory wood the most beautiful image appeared. Use your own imagination to interpret the picture. I think it looks like a dragonfly in front of a sunset 😊
Enjoy your Saturday!

These little Lion cubs were in a hurry to catch up with their mums.
Good night 💤

After being stuck at home with online schooling for a long time this young lady enjoyed the ‘live Thanda Safari biology class’ very much, learning all about White Rhinos and their role in nature.
