Lion Tension

One of Thanda Safari’s dominant males was keeping a youngster at bay while he was mating with his mother. But she (on the left) was very unhappy how her son was treated by her mate. The young male’s sister (on the right) jumped out of the way as her brother was disciplined.

Hippos in the Garden

When we returned for dinner to my favorite guest house in St.Lucia (Serene Estate Boutique Guest House) two Hippos were grazing quietly in the garden beyond the pool.

I love Africa!

De-Ticking Service!

This Red-billed Oxpecker was removing a blood-sucking Tick from the ear of an Impala.

WINTER COLORS …

… are very special. Long after the sun had set the sky was still glowing in red tones as this Giraffe passed by my vehicle (I was using the red light on the Green Mamba to illuminate the foreground).
