Peter Clements stayed with us in late February/early March this year, for a total of 8 nights. Peter’s just sent in some of his best shots of his stay with us. And I have to say: they are some stunning shots!
The first photo is the male lion on our own reserve. He is now about three years old, and though he’s really massive already, he is still getting bigger. He is a cross with a Cape lion, so they tend to get very large! Stunning shot by Peter, what a beautiful animal!
We have quite a few cheetahs on the reserve, but they are notoriously hard to find, and, as anywhere in Africa, seeing them is a real privilege, and quite rare. We do see them regularly, which is a blessing, but again, Peter’s shots are sublime. We found them resting in a river bed, which is perfect to take a clear photo. Cheetahs count amongst the most endangered species in Africa, as they ned a lot of space, and they have a lot of competition from stronger predators too (such as the lion and the leopard), so they are struggling. Luckily our cheetahs are having cubs, and being successful at raising them, so that’s something we are obviously delighted about.
Also a couple of shorts from an elephant and a rhino as photographed when Peter was on a day trip with us to the Kruger Park. Very nice indeed.
Last a photo of Peter, Peter’s wife and Pierre, our ranger, out on an African safari on our 36,000 acre game reserve. Good times …
Many thanks to Peter for these beautiful shots, and for sharing them with us! 🙂
