Small Spotted Genet. You will not believe the difference between the edited (this photo) version, and the original version. The original being very poorly lid so we do not hurt the eyes of this really beautiful animal. Lost a lot of quality to light up this photo so one can really see it properly.

On a recent trip in the Kruger, this nocturnal Small Spotted Genet, came to visit us. It was clearly very used to humans, and although not aggressive at all, hoped that we would feed it. I used very low light to photograph it. It stayed for a while, and after some time it must have realized we will not feed it, then strolled on to the neighbours... Still a wonderful experience and a really pretty animal!

Over the years I took (cellphone) photos of animals and other subjects that crossed behind my safari vehicle. We always try and position the vehicle so the guests can see the best but animals often change direction or other animals cross behind. These are not high quality photos but often very interesting. As a result I learnt to always watch the mirror also, and it is amazing how you can pick up on animals by watching what is behind you! :-)

Crocodile Kills a Black Mamba

A crocodile found a black mamba coming down to the waterhole for a drink. The croc was too slow on its first try, but then went back in for the kill. An interaction we have never seen before!!

VIDEO coming soon! Stay tuned!

The bitter-sweet sighting of Lions finding the road work cones interesting... not natural at all but there still is a bit of humour in it I guess...

On Friday`s safari we had these Lion mate very close to our vehicle! Crank up the sound!

We celebrated our first safari in more than a week in absolute humbling style today with a super safari!!! Have a look at this video to see more!

Not the best video quality but a great moment as 2 Rhinos cross the road in front of us.

Early morning this Rhino bull decided to come and have a closer look at us, taken with cellphone.

Moving is in general just a massive trauma... but you discover special things like this wonderful gesture from a family who were my guests some time ago... it makes up for the stress of relocating!

Videographer and owner of video unknown

This is a video that has been around for some time but it is brilliant! Videographer and owner of the video unknown.

From yesterday`s safari: A younger adult Elephant bull seemingly got into must so the older bull (left) just helped him a little to calm down from his testosterone high... soon after this interaction the young bull walked away feeding.

Lion and Hippos

A very short piece of video from a recent safari. It was too far to hear the splash so I added a nice bit of bush music! :-)

This morning the small crowd moved on... but I just knew we have to hang back and wait....

Again not our video and no idea who took it but WOW!!!

This video has no sound. Just a very short slow motion of 2 big male Lions walking right past our vehicle! Super sighting!

Some of our best safaris is during soft rain...

Again not our video but perhaps one of the craziest videos we have seen in a while! It looks like a sub-adult bird this Brown Snake Eagle that took on a Black Mamba but got it all wrong not able to go for the head and then got bitten... The commotion perhaps attracted the Leopard and young`s attention. I think the eagle should have let go but did not... I am almost 100% sure this eagle will not have made it. Great pity whoever took the video did not take more footage. (When will people learn to watermark their footage?)
