Moments of magic
It might be hard to imagine such a large animal being so relaxed. I reminisce about some magical moments being surrounded by these awesome animals. Getting images of animals at eye level or close to it is not always easy. I found myself below… Continue Reading “Moments of magic”
A king’s legacy
Being the king of the jungle is no easy task. Many lion prides and coalitions have come and gone. Sometimes, their legacies will live on. One of the lionesses from the Othawa pride was seen mating with the Majingilane male lions before the males… Continue Reading “A king’s legacy”
RIP Sasekile
With the amount of individual leopards that roam around it is not hard to form an emotional bond with these felines. Sasekile (The beautiful one) recently went independent from her mother Thlangisa.

Moving out
The first rain of the rainy season has arrived and the Lowveld is buzzing with new life. The air is filled with the frenzied calls of the migratory Woodlands Kingfisher and Red Chested Cuckoo. The leaves cover the trees once again and green grass… Continue Reading “Moving out”
Well spotted
Dull grey and brown hues dominate the bush as it nears the end of the dry season. This in turn provides the perfect camouflage for animals in their natural environment. I treat every day in the bush as a new day and wonder what… Continue Reading “Well spotted”
Go Birding
“Could you please show us some birds” is not a phrase I hear too often when heading out with guests on safari. With a country as diverse as South Africa, shouldn’t a day out in nature include a little more than the request to… Continue Reading “Go Birding”
