I noticed an amusing phenomenon a few days ago when I was enjoying yet another spectacular African sunset at the Vuyani Safari Lodge. As I looked towards the right wing of the lodge, I noticed lots of dark bits on the wall, and quickly realised it must be lezards.

Craig explained to me that this is very common, especially in the winter season, as the lezards are trying to catch the maximum amount of sunlight before a long and chilly night, so they seek out the warmest and most sun-exposed parts to do so in the sunset. This particular part of the lodge is perfect for this, so up to a dozen lezards can be observed enjoying their late day sun basking.

They must be English lezards, so much they seemed to enjoy the sun 😉

I took my phone and took some photos of them, and slowly approached them to catch one up-close, which I succeeded at with one of them.

Enjoy the photos!
