Great vantage point for this leopard to look out for prey.

A remarkable sighting today. Pretty rare to see a python but to see one being killed by a saddle-billed stork and eventually eaten is much rarer.

The great thing about the northern Kruger Park is when you get lions like this you often have them completely to yourself. Spent half an hour on the road with them this morning.

A great way to bring in the New Year!

Have to admit the weather this afternoon and evening was something I will always remember. And what a great sunset to finish off the day…

Afraid there was only a marabou stork at the end of this rainbow. Great view after an hour of torrential rain though.

So, what started out as a relaxed drive on the 4x4 road ended up with some explosive action this morning! I slowed down for a herd of impala only to have this leopard leap out a few meters in front of us and grab this youngster. Right place at the right time…

And here are the vultures and one of the hyenas with their feast!

23/10/2021

Bit of a tearjerker here. An elephant died about five days before with the hyenas and vultures spending those days eating it. And then, after all of this time, a group of elephants came down to the carcass. The eldest male spent ages going over the body with his trunk while the others stood a respectful distance away. After about a quarter of an hour the old boy walked to the top of the ridge and let out a long, wailing trumpet. The other males fell in line and followed him away from the scene. An amazing sighting. I have never seen such an elephant “wake” like this before.

Well, over the years I have seen strange things but to have wild dogs chase an ostrich and then just stand next to it as if they were mates is one of the strangest!

28/08/2021

The one male was getting a little bored knowing he will be sitting around a few days watching his brother mating with this female.

Nice follow up from the leopard last night was to get this one relaxing in a tree.

27/08/2021

Spent 15 minutes with this leopard tonight on the night drive. Couple of elephants behind us and a herd of buffalo down the way as well. Ngwenyeni was the spot tonight!

24/08/2021

An easy one. Which animal is being followed by a ____?

23/08/2021

“Where’s Dora”! A little on the cool side but some nice sightings and good company made up for it.

14/08/2021

Cold morning in the park to spend with some chilled elephants.

18/06/2021

Super nice to get this lone cheetah on a kill this morning at Ngwenyeni.

While smaller rivers in the Kruger Park might appear to be dry there is normally a fresh supply if you just dig a bit for it. Peaceful scene this morning with one of my favourite bird calls as a soundtrack.

Love the contrasting colours in autumn - trees are still green and the grass turning gold. And some lionesses add a bit too.

30/04/2021

Ridiculous colours at sunrise today! Perk of the job is seeing this scene every morning.

30/04/2021

Lazy morning for these three lionesses. And to think they only moved about 100 metres from where we saw them yesterday morning.

30/04/2021

Very fortunate this morning to see the mother leopard with her youngster. And today's lesson? Pouncing hornbills!

27/04/2021

10 out of 10 landing for this white-backed vulture. Was great to see around fifty of them feeding on a carcass - unfortunately hidden behind bushes.

27/04/2021

Brrrrr... with the first chills of winter in the morning these tree squirrels had the perfect solution to stay warm.
