Action outside – action inside

Now that the summer season is in full swing, there is more wildlife activity than ever. At least it feels that way. There are more and more grazer babies everywhere – impala, wildebeest, zebras, … making predators very happy and their bellies very full. That’s the cycle of life, and this is a great time of year to see it all unfold, right in front of your eyes.

And when our guests come back from exciting game drives, the action continues at the lodge! Vusi, Kalmay, Rosie and everyone else of the kitchen staff are always busy surprising our guests with their hundreds of culinary exploits. And in a setting like this, it’s all smiles. most naturally. I don’t blame them! 🙂

Here the week’s most beautiful shots. There were hundreds, literally, so it took me a long while to narrow them down.
