Uyai took over the duty of taking photo footage of all our game drives a few days ago. Uyai is our tracker, and so as such this was a very new world for him. Well, I can say that for a “novice” in the field of photography, he seems to have some seriously natural talent. Some of the shots I see capture the animals in more typical ways than I could have imagined. But then again he has been tracker for close to two decades, so he is in sync with nature like not many in this field in South Africa. He knew this reserve inside out long before the Vuyani Safari Lodge was even built.

See below some of the best shots he has sent through. Some of them were taken on the morning safari, some on the evening safari, such as the ones with the chameleon and also the one with the owl. Great sighting by the way! Many of our guests assume that it is all about Big5, but soon discover that while they know what an owl looks like, they have never actually seen one in the wild. Well, here you stand a very good chance to do so.

The elephants were seen on the morning game drive. They crossed the dirt road right in front of our guests (the second vehicle is seen in the back ground), and rested for a while in front of us, giving us plenty of excellent photo opportunities. Yesterday was a great safari day indeed! Many thanks to Uyai for capturing so much of it, and making it possible to share it with our many fans.
