We saw a big male leopard during the afternoon drive on the 12th of January on Makobela road. Guests saw him while driving to the lodge and Rul, one of the guides at Pondoro, found him again after some excellent tracking. We stayed with him for about 90 min which [...]

Saw a small group of elephants drinking and playing at a small pan on Impalabos west on the 12th of January. We saw a group of 200 buffaloes on the 20th cooling down inside Ngwenya dam. It is rare to see something like this and I took a whole bunch [...]

I found this chameleon caught by a male boomslang during the afternoon drive on the 10th of January. Unfortunately the photo does not do justice to the scene and it is difficult to put the photo into scale as the boomslang is actually a lot bigger than portrayed in the [...]

The 3 young males seem to have settled in nicely within the Singwe pride's territory. With every day that goes by their chances of taking over from their fathers are improving. It will take some guts to expand their territory into that of their fathers, but they at least seem [...]

A leopard photo taken during August. Andries, my tracker, nearly jumped on top of the leopard when he got off the car to go and look for tracks. I wonder who got the biggest fright, he, my guests, the leopard or me? I like the low angle and shallow depth [...]

I managed to take some rare photos of an elephant sleeping during the evening game drive on the 8th of September which I am very pleased about. They got disturbed by the vehicle, but I heard them lying down again not long after and we soon heard the sounds of [...]
