Those eyes!
One of my favorite Lion portraits ever.
Have a good weekend, stay home and stay safe.

STAY-AT-HOME SATURDAY
LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI VI
My photographic Safari this evening was cut short by a bit of rain, which is very welcome.
But before I returned to Thanda House I took this short video with my iPhone. This is a Leopard Tortoise, one of the Small Five. Can you name the other four. I will post the answer tomorrow afternoon 😊
Stay safe!

LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI V
On today’s game drive I not only used my cameras but I also got a great shots from my drone. Combined with the noise from my vehicle the herd of Cape Buffalo ignored the flying machine 😊 I got some great footage not only of the Buffalo but of a female Cheetah on a kill and of young Elephant bulls sparring.
Stay home and stay safe 😊

LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI IV
One of the major feature of today’s game drive was a flat tire and a wheel change 😊. But we also had some good sightings, Lions, White Rhinos, Warthogs and a Journey of Giraffes just after sunset.
Stay home and stay safe 😊

LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI III
Today’s Game Drive was all about general game, beautiful scenery and a very good looking butterfly.
Often we ‘hunt’ so much after the big five that we forget all the other amazing species.
I hope you will enjoy these images. Stay home and stay safe 😊

STAY-AT-HOME SUNDAY
Having fun after a mud bath!
Fun fact: Young elephant calves sometimes suck their trunks to help them relaxing when they are not feeding.
Many of us have to stay home in this worldwide crisis. So I thought you might enjoy to receive a wildlife image every day of the week until things are back to normal.

LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI II
A lot of my friends around the world are quite envious about my lock down location. Being grounded on a beautiful 14,000ha big five game reserve is not the worst fait for a professional wildlife photographer.
To share a bit of my luck I will continue to post pictures taken on game drives on Thanda during this crisis. I hope they will brighten up your stay-at-home days a little.

A ‘LOCK DOWN’ SAFARI
Being the resident wildlife photographer, locked down on Thanda Safari, I went on a game drive this afternoon to bring a few animal images from this beautiful place to your home.
I hope you enjoy this special photographic game drive. All the pictures were taken today.
Have a good evening 😊

MAMMAL FRIDAY – ELEPHANT BABY
This little Elephant enjoyed its mud bath at the Thanda Tented Camp waterhole 😊 Have a good weekend!
PS: The picture was taken with an iPhone XS Max and a set of Nikon Monarch Binoculars.
