Lazy sunny days

The must be one of the most underrated reserves for leopard sightings. On a lazy sunny day we enjoyed this female on the banks of a dry riverbed, having spent the whole morning tracking her without success. Nonetheless, there is no stopping the tracking efforts and she spoilt guests with yawns and a spread of vocals before stepping of the bank in regal fashion.

Tell me about your favourite leopard sighting, and let me know if you are still due to find this elusive cat!

Distant gaze

It has been forever since I last posted, but the social media sabbatical is now over!

I thought I'll share one of my first ever competition entries, which didn't make it to anywhere... Nonetheless, this rates as one of my most gruesome photos as this Spotty emerged from an elephant carcass.

Caught... In action

On a recent afternoon safari with my food friend and tracker at the time we found this Fish Eagle that just caught a fish. In typical style fish eagle style the fish was ripped to shreds and swallowed down.

The mighty beast

On a warm winters afternoon, you know elephants won't be far from water. This beast saw it fit to dig up a dry riverbed to get some fresh water.

Safaris often focus massively on the large creatures, but when slowing down one gets to see how much more the bush can offer... This Hyrax was really comfortable with our vehicle approaching him.
