Botswana: Okavango Delta Safari 2013: Day 3

Once again the action started early, this time with a big male elephant walking through the camp during breakfast. Four lions were found quite early on in the day, finishing up the last of an unlucky red lechwe, giving the large herd of buffalo another days rest. A pair of highly endangered wattled cranes gave us a brief sighting, before our afternoon boat expedition. Lots of elephants, hippos, red lechwe, birds and a massive crocodile kept the cameras clicking all afternoon.

Major sightings of the day:

Large male elephant
4 lions
Large herd of buffalo
Hippos
Wattled cranes
Crocodile
Many different species of birds

Botswana: Okavango Delta Safari 2013: Day 2

Lions in the camp is never a bad way to start a day! A pride of 4 lions sauntered through the camp just before the early morning wake-up call, which we quickly proceeded to follow for the rest of the morning. They were making their way in the general direction of the large herd of buffalo, but with no real intent. Along the way, we encountered many herds of elephants, a side-striped jackal den site, and a magnificent lightning show!

Major sightings of the day:

4 lions
Large herd of buffalo

The Great Migration Safari 2012: Day 8

A hunting leopard and her cub started off our last full day in the beautiful Masai Mara, and even though we spent a good hour watching the attempted hunt, the river crossings again came to the fore. Madness for close to two hours! We had some more good luck with another monster crocodile adding some flavour to the mix, and clicked away as one of the more unorthodox crossings unfolded in front of us. Add all the general game and the couple of lion sightings we photographed, and it made for what is often referred to as a great day!

Major sightings of the day:

Leopard and cub, hunting wildebeest
Lions, 2 sightings, both with cubs
River crossings, up to 20 000 wildebeest and many zebra with 2 crocodile kills
Elephants
Giraffe
Large herd of buffalo
Warthog, many with piglets
Topi, many with new day old calves

The Great Migration Safari 2012: Day 5

Lions, cheetahs, leopards and even a black rhino – it was a great day on Safari, not forgetting, of course, all the other animals that made an appearance and kept our cameras clicking. A special sighting of a herd of relaxed eland made for some great portraits and the elephants never disappoint, but the sighting of the day was split between two very playful cheetah cubs, and some
