The last laugh
It’s no laughing matter when you find yourself in the clutches of one of nature’s wisest predators. I see many guests out on safari and a lot of them dream about witnessing a kill. I was lucky enough to witness such an occasion. Spending… Continue Reading “The last laugh”
Nandzana Leopard
Whilst thoroughly enjoying the bush life and all the spectacular events that have taken place, there was still one animal that has evaded me each time I head off into the bush. I’ve seen a couple of tracks, heard calls outside my room and… Continue Reading “Nandzana Leopard”

An unpleasant sighting

However, seeing blue skies and sunshine automatically changes… Continue Reading “An unpleasant sighting”
Skulls & Bones
Throughout Kruger you’ll see an abundance of life in all shapes, colours and sizes. If you look carefully enough you’ll also see evidence of the life that once was. I did not even imagine that I would come across so many skulls and bones… Continue Reading “Skulls & Bones”
