A very unexpected visitor - Waterberg, Namibia

On the first day of our tour on the way from Windhoek passing the Olive Farm to Waterberg you can easily find a variety of antelopes and birds. But on this particular day as we, my 6 guest and me, were only 20 km from our camp at Waterberg ran into a big surprise. At about 16:30 we drove along the gravel road through a dry river bed and as we came around...

Revenge of the Blacksmith Lapwings

During a recent Thirstland Expedition, my guests and I became witnesses of a bizarre scene, while we were traveling through the Etosha National Park. When we arrived at the waterhole called Koingchas at about 09h00, we saw a Black-backed Jackal feeding on a Blacksmith Lapwing which it had just caught. Only 2 meters away a juvenile Tawny Eagle was sitting...

Eat as much as you can...and then some more!

Perez Kamukuenjandje with his guests on the NT34 Thirstland Expedition were in Etosha National Park, on their way to lunch at Halali, when they witnessed a feeding frenzy which kept them fascinated for a long time. A pride of 8 lions had brought down and killed a zebra, a mere 3 meters from the road. The 5 adult lions had clearly eaten more than enough,...

To graze...or not to graze!

On a late afternoon game drive in the Eastern part of Etosha National Park, Perez Kamukunjandje and his guests were treated to a rare sighting of a black Rhino. What made this sighting even more special, is the fact that it was feeding – not browsing, as would be expected, but.... grazing! The Black Rhino is generally a browser and uses its upper hooked...

Cape Fur Seals impatiend for mating season III

Life and death of the seal pups This time at Cape Cross I thought I would encounter the same scenery as 3 weeks ago but already when me and my guests climbed out of the car we saw dead seal pups lying at the parking lot and picnic spot. There was also one pup wandering around on its own. In the wall which separates the colony from the parking lot is a...

Cape Fur Seals impatiend for mating season II

First pups of the Cape Fur Seals at Cape Cross are born As me and my guests approach the view point at the Cape Cross seal colony we could hear mixed with the barking sound of the seals high pitched, sheep-like calls. When we were closer and able to see the colony small seal pups not older 2-3 weeks stumbling around with half opened eyes. Some of the...
