Kruger is about landscape as well as beasts, birds, and trees.

There’s a certain type of wildlife picture that I just really enjoy even if it’s not very clever. 1960s/1970s style wildlife portraiture. Thinking about my dear cousins @joydemillar and @timdrmillar today.

The prettiest kitty. Dozing on a branch over the Sabie just like her ancestors have probably done for thousands of years.

From hell’s dark heart we stab at thee. The oxpeckers riding the behemoth were sold to me as a kid as being benevolent helpers clearing animals of parasites. But they are also parasites themselves. This huge flock are riding this giraffe to pick at an open wound on its back. It’s no good shaking them off. They just swoop back seconds later.

Yesterday evening on the Sabie - for my money the most beautiful river in South Africa. And that has a lot to with the huge wild fig trees that line its banks.

Long and lovely day. Goodnight.

A big old bruiser.

We’ve had two days of frankly chilly weather but today it’s back to the proper lowveld heat.

The smallest hyena I’ve ever seen. Its ma is obsessed with it.

All elephants together.
