Spoilt for choice

Every day, I get a full report of most of the day’s best sightings, with photos. Indeed our tracker, Aggi, has been equipped with an excellent small camera to capture all interesting things we see with our guests. This gives me huge amounts of material for our safari blog, keeping our past and future guests informed about all the safari happenings here. They also give our fans and future guests a good idea of what they can expect to see here.

Going through yesterday’s photos, I realised that I could write 5 blog stories, that’s as much material it was. It’s truly amazing to acknowledge how much better and above all plentiful sightings on our reserve have become, from the traditional (and misunderstood) Big5 and the super-rare to the weird & wonderful. It’s simply amazing, that’s all I can say.

So I have picked a few great photos (I had a choice of 54 photos!), just to give you an idea of what a “typical” day out may look like when out on safari with us. Not that any day is ever the same. Nature has its own rythm and ways, and one has to go with the flow. It’s like that proverbial box of chocolate, you never know what you’re gonna get. But it’s usually outstanding what you get.

Here the proof of that!
