We recently saw the young Van Wyk female leopard and after following her for a while she got into a small tree and posed for us. It was late afternoon and the sun had already set. My usual modus operandi under such circumstances is to instruct the tracker to light [...]
Some hyena photos taken on the 23rd of September 2015. The hyena den are proving to be quite a hit amongst the guests visiting Pondoro. They are moving between 3 den sites on the southern side of our concession area. The increase in fleas and other biting insects might be [...]

I often drive for days without even picking my camera up. We might be having amazing sightings, but the opportunity for taking good photos just does not present itself. On other days I might be taking up to a thousand images. It might just be that everything falls into place [...]
While on safari we came across this male Giraffe who seems to have come out second in a dispute with a rival male. Male giraffes will compete for females by means of necking. It is a form of fighting where they will stand opposite each other and give out beatings [...]
