Meet Max. He's been used as part of a breeding program to try and bolster up Caracal numbers in the region. So far he's done quite well, impregnating 2 of 2 females.

This flap necked chameleon was very strategically perched, feasting on many unsuspecting insects pollinating the flowers.

Early one morning, after tracking our South Pride lions for about an hour, we were fortunate enough to locate them, thanks to the relentless efforts of Sipho, our tracker. Initially they just lay around, but soon enough they became active and gave us some great entertainment as they clambered over one another.

One beautiful morning , while out canoeing with guests on the Mzinene river, we were treated with this awesome sighting of a Purple Gallinule. It was incredibly relaxed , and let us get quite close.

While birding at Phinda's new hide at Nyoni Dam, I happened to see something move near the entrance. On closer inspection I found this Spotted Bush Snake(philothamnus semivariegatus) trying to swallow a Foam nest tree frog(chiromantis xerampelina).

I found this hatchling Vine Snake (Thelotornis Capensis)getting some sun on a winter- flowering Aloe(Aloe Marlothii). It's fantastic to see such a young vine snake, considering how well camouflaged they are, and also the season.

These two beautiful sub-adults were very patiently waiting for mom to return from a hunt.

After dropping my guests off at Izwe airstrip, I had a bit of time on my hands, so took a bumble out to Mvubu Dam to see what was out and about. After about 40min of patiently waiting, this little guy landed right near my car and proceeded to fish.

I patiently waited at a small body of water that I had noticed was drying up rapidly. After 20 minutes or so a Great White Egret landed almost right in front of my vehicle. I watched in awe as it gently treaded through the muddy water snapping up any fish disturbed in it's path.

Was fortunate to have this Yellow billed stork land near my vehicle, while birding at Mvubu dam on Phinda. He went about his business as if he was all alone. A rare privelage.

I had some time on my hands after my latest guests departed, so I went hunting a worthy Schotia Brachypatela (Weeping Boerbean Tree) to find sunbirds. I was lucky enough to find a tree right near the road, brimming with life. I climbed the tree and waited patiently for the birds to come closer.

I managed to get a pic of this little guy from inside a scotia tree. What amazes me is how territorial sunbirds seem to be when feeding from within the same tree.
