For the birders among you!
These are the dates for the two Pakamisa Birding Weekends in 2025. These weekends are great getaways for birders.
Feel free to contact me or Pakamisa reservations if you have any questions or if you would like to make a booking.
And in case you have a group of 6 to 8 birders we can arrange for a special weekend any time during the year (subject to availability and for a minimum stay of 3 nights).
Three male Dung Beetles were fighting over a freshly rolled ball.
These incredibly strong creatures, in relation to their body size, often try to hijack one another’s dung balls.
Their sense of smell must be incredible as they land minutes of the fresh dung leaving its producer and start turning the waste material into a breeding chambers and food sources for their offspring.
They bury the ball in suitable ground with the fertilized egg inside.
And the winner takes it all. The losers move off to find fresh dung for more balls!

On my way to pick up my guests, I took this picture of the incredibly beautiful sky over Thanda this morning.
The pair of Wahlberg’s Eagles in the tree is nesting close to my home as they do every year. I hope you had a good start into 2025.

After almost two years without a dedicated photography game viewing vehicle, I am happy to announce that the new Green Mamba II is now in service.
My sincere thanks to Thanda Safari management for making this joint venture possible.
The expertly converted Toyota Land Cruiser has all the extra features of the retired Green Mamba and some new ones. She is now available to photographers or guests who would like to experience truly luxurious private game drives. As guide and photographer I will not only conduct the private safaris but also provide pictures of all sightings to my guests as part of this special service.
All the details about this exceptional vehicle are available at https://sperka.info/the-green-mamba-ii/
If you will be staying as a guest at Thanda Safari and you are interested in driving with me on the Green Mamba II during your stay, please contact Thanda at reservations@thanda.co.za.
If you have any questions about the new vehicle or my services, you can contact me via WhatsApp at +27633294323.

When I returned to Thanda Safari from Pakamisa in the late afternoon, I decided to watch the sunset from my favorite spot at one of our largest waterholes.
After two very enjoyable days with friends, I experienced this beautiful scene under heavy rain clouds.
I hope you had a good Christmas Day and I wish you a relaxing Boxing Day (Zweiter Weihnachtsfeiertag).
To all my friends and followers around the world:
I wish you a Merry Christmas
