Game drive sightings while at Nambu Camp, Balule.

Did you know? The Impala Lily is known in South Africa as a source of poison to stun or poison fish.

 

 

 

‘There’s a highway of stars across the heavens
There’s whispering song of the wind in the grass
There’s the rolling thunder across the savanna
A hope and dream at the edge of the sky
And your life is a story like the wind
Your life is a story like the wind’.
Johnny Clegg and Savuka. Great Heart.

 

 

 

Sometimes animals just lie in places that are inaccessible for a good close up. This lion was lying on the far side of an airstrip that we were not allowed to cross as it was on private land that our vehicle was not allowed to traverse.

He lay here, in the wind, supposedly ignoring us while we tried to get a vantage point that would allow us a good sighting.

 

 

 

When you are driving up a road and THIS is walking towards you…

No one seems to know who has right of way at a traffic circle in South Africa, you can bet your bottom Dollar that in this circumstance, it is the humans that would definitely give way to the pachyderm.

 

 

 

‘Eye spy’…or ‘eye, spy’. The choice is yours.

There is something about the eye of an elephant that reaches deep into the psyche of those who get an opportunity to be this close.

 

 

 

Weeds are also flowers…it is just that they are not loved as much.

There is always something to point a lens at.

 

 

 

One of the international visitors favourite animals…

Aside from the Big 5, the Ugly 5 and the Scarce 5, there should be a list of the Most Popular 5 and giraffe would most certainly be on that!

 

 

 

In a sightings post, there HAS to be on picture of pure cuteness. This is it!

 

 

 

A chameleon caught in the spotlight. If you have ever been on a night drive and your guide/tracker were worth their salt, then they would produce at least one chameleon for the guests on the vehicle.

At one particular reserve, the tracker on the vehicle spotted 12 on the final stretch of track back to camp. A record that has yet to be beaten.

 

 

 

A Bushbaby about to literally leap from pillar to post…

 

 

 

Highlighted by the fading rays of the afternoon sunlight, this spider web becomes living art.
