A traffic jam I didn’t mind.
I was on my way to a customer that had their offices inside the Kruger Park near the Phalaborwa gate.

Traffic Jam:
Several vehicles are stopped or moving slowly as an elephant walks along the road. Lush greenery and tall grass are visible on both sides. The sky is overcast.

Because we all need some cute right now.

The image captures a solitary elephant amidst the dense foliage of a lush landscape in Mpumalanga, South Africa. The foreground is filled with vibrant green leaves and branches, partially obscuring the majestic creature, while the background reveals more of the surrounding greenery.

Hyena, late for an appointment apparently.

a Lone hyena traverses a deserted road. The background is dominated by lush greenery and sparse trees, hinting at a wild, untamed landscape.

In the haunting landscape of Kruger National Park, a mother hyena lies resting, her worn body a testament to the harshness of the environment. Two young cubs, barely able to stand, huddle close to her, seeking warmth and protection. The cracked earth and sparse vegetation serve as a stark reminder of the constant struggle for survival in this desolate place.

This photo was taken about 56 years ago in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. It’s my sister and me with a game ranger.
The rifle I’m holding is either a .303 Lee Metford or Lee EnfieId. I scanned the original black and white image and colorised it with Photoshop’s neural filter.
As you can see both my scanner and photoshop skills are a bit dodgy.

A man and two children stand in a natural outdoor setting, in front of dense African bush. The man, wearing a hat and dark clothing, is positioned on the left. The children, a boy and a girl, are in the center, with the boy holding a rifle. The rifle is about twice as long as the boy is tall.

Going through some old photos that I uploaded to to a piwigo site I created years ago.

I just stumbled on this photo I took in 2006 in the Kruger Park near Crocodile Bridge.

After bidding farewell to the mesmerizing Umkumbe Safari Lodge, we set our sights northwest towards nThambo Tree Camp, both nestled within the expansive Kruger National Park. Following a seasoned piece of advice not to tether ourselves to a single location, considering the capricious nature of wildlife, we strategically chose two distinct accommodations on opposing sides of the park to maximize our chances of encountering the renowned ‘Big 5’. The “Big Five” refer to five large African mammal species: Lions, Leopards, Elephants, African Buffalo, Rhinoceroses.

Highlights from our safari based out of nThambo Tree Camp

The journey, spanning approximately 3 and a half hours from Umkumbe to nThambo, offered glimpses of South Africa’s commercial landscape as we made a brief stop at a rest area for snacks and refreshments. I took the opportunity to stretch out and catch a nap during the mostly uneventful highway drive. I missed the opportunity to take images.

Upon our arrival at nThambo Tree Camp, a delicious brunch awaited us before we embarked on an exhilarating afternoon game drive.

The tree houses exuded opulence, providing a lavish retreat amidst the wilderness. Each abode boasted a sumptuous king-sized bed, a bathroom replete with on-demand hot water, a toilet, and a writing desk.

Unquestionably, the highlight of each room was the breathtaking view it offered of the surrounding park. From this vantage point, we marveled at the wildlife spectacle: Giraffes, Hyenas, Elephants, Impalas, and an array of other fascinating creatures graced the camp with their presence. (Yes, I have a lot of luggage – After nThambo we head to Durban to scuba dive with whales, sharks and sardines.)

The nights were serenaded by the echoing roars of lions, a haunting yet captivating reminder of the untamed beauty just beyond our sanctuary. Remarkably, even this awe-inspiring chorus failed to keep me from drifting into a peaceful slumber.

In the picture above, we stopped for sundowners on our evening safari drive.

Every evening, the camp treated us to a welcoming campfire preceding our dinner. The experience was incredibly soothing, offering the perfect opportunity to enjoy a drink before the meal and providing warmth as the night air grew cooler.

All video was shot with a Panasonic GH5 and 100-300 lens. The still images were shot with an iphone.

A nice sighting this morning. You don’t see cheetahs all that often.

I still regret I didn't have a video camera to film this. The elephant slowly sneaked up to the lion. It got to about a meter away before the lion noticed/decided to move away. #elephant #krugerpark #lion #wildlife
