blog design in progress.....


What a journey it has been. I have seen a lot, experienced more, and continue in the search for the ultimate: to be able to perceive and understand what is around us in Nature, to learn from the calmness and revitalisation one feels when in a beautiful place; or watch something that drives your soul, such as a bird. The continual ebb and flow of nature reveals no prejudice. I think we all need to observe a bird, to get some humility into humanity.

A quieter day in the Kruger - but wonderful nevertheless! We saw loads of giraffe, elephant, large breeding herd of buffalo and the usual suspects. Nats spotted this beautiful little owlet below! Still no wild dogs and unfortunately no lions today, but the highlight being a youngish leopard cub of 8-9 months old.. sadly light and gate closure was an issue as well as beer bottles. It is great that there is a no tolerance for alchohol in the park for day visitors. Can you believe the beer cans and bottle in the photo's below! Disgusting! A private vehicle also killed a a duiker due to speeding just infront of us!!! What is the park coming to?
