It is a highlight of any Safari to watch Lion cubs 😊
Have a good week!

THE EVENING POST – CUBS
THE EVENING POST – INCREDIBLE
Friends of mine from Richards Bay stayed at the Thanda Safari Lodge for the last three days. For their first safari after the National COVID-19 emergency lockdown Bheki and I guided them using my Green Mamba. We had an incredible time.
This is a slide show of some of my favorite pictures from these four exciting game drives. We especially enjoyed all the activity of the Cheetah cubs, the small Lions, and the Elephant calves.
Thanda Safari currently offers excellent rates for South African residents. If you are interested contact reservations@thanda.co.za for more information.

THE very late MORNING POST – VERY SHY
During this morning’s game drive this small Common Duiker had a good look at us through the bushes. Most of the time one only sees the back side of these fast, shy, little creatures.

THE MORNING POST – THICK SKIN
Imagine you have a bit of an itch on your head and imagine that to give it a good scratch using strong sickle bush spines! You better have a large boss (the horn plate on top of the buffalo’s head) and a really thick skin.
This is a short video of a Cape Buffalo bull attending to such an itch. Have a good day 😊
PS: If you look carefully you recognize a Cape (Glossy) Starling sitting unperturbed in a tree nearby 😊

THE EVENING POST – FOCUS
One feels rather small when a large Elephant focuses his attention on the open safari vehicle one is sitting in, even if it is only for a few seconds.
This is one of the oldest and largest bulls on Thanda Safari. We estimate his weight over 6 tons (=3 Land Rovers 😊).
PS: Today’s morning post bird was a White-backed Vulture

WHICH BIRD? WEDNESDAY – THE MORNING POST
What bird is this? – I will post the result this evening!
THE EVENING POST – REUNION
It was a great pleasure to see your two dominate male Lions again this morning.
The last few weeks they roamed the rolling hills of western part of the reserve and have not been spotted for quite a while.
I love eye shots of cats walking towards the camera!
Have a good evening 😊
