  • Satara, Kruger National Park, South Africa

  • You have no idea how impossible it is to get a close-up of a giraffe looking directly into the lens. This was a shot I really had to perservere with but I’m basically pleased with the outcome.

  • Location: Lower Sabie Restaurant, Kruger National Park, South Africa. September 2007.

  • One of Southern Africa’s most photogenic birds. Location Asfall cafe, Mpumalanga, Kruger National Park, South Africa.

  • Another day in the Kruger National Park

  • I was not happy with the image I posted originally so here is the reworked version. Here is my original comment: Most photographers photograph giraffes from hooves to horns but this allows you to see it’s noble head. Location: Kruger National Park, (Skukuza, Mpumalanga), South Africa. September 2007.

  • Kruger National Park, South Africa Two young baboons huddle together for warmth and comfort on a chilly winter’s evening, as the sun goes down. They’ll soon head to the trees for safety in the night.

  • This was taken in December 2007 in Kruger National Park, South Africa. The sun was in the early stages of setting and I had just finished a guided walk through the park, in which wild animals roam freely. Featured in the ‘Fauna, Flora, Landscapes & Architecture of South Africa’ group in August 2009.

  • A young leopard from South Africa (private reserve a few miles from the Kruger Park of Eastern RSA). October 2008. All the power of the most beautiful big cat concentrated in the eyes. This photo is also part of a 2010 calendar I created. /

  • This was taken in Kruger National Park, South Africa in December 2007. It was amazing to get so close to all of the animals.

  • A friend of mine was lucky enough to get a photo of this Kruger Game Reserve leopard, just after they had driven under the branch, on which it was reclining. I just had to paint this guy. He is now a member of my gallery at home, but I’m happy to, “spread the loooove” :)

  • Taken in Kruger National Park, South Africa in December 2007 during a guided walk through the park.

  • Location Lower Sabie, Mpumalanga, Kruger National Park, South Africa. September 2007.

  • On the wide open plains of the Kruger National Park, South Africa, we happened upon this large, lone bull. He seemed to be going somewhere, as he detoured around us slightly, wary of our clicking and whispering. When the brief encounter was over, we both went on our way, perhaps, I’d like to think, better for the meeting…

  • Isn’t she lovely? / I love the eyes! We really saw a lot of these Impala’s, but I never tired of looking at them – or photographing them for that matter! An impala (Aepyceros melampus Greek αιπος, aipos “high” κερος, ceros “horn” + melas “black” pous “foot”) is a medium-sized African antelope. The name impala comes from the Zulu language. They are found in savannas and thick bushveld in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, northern Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, southern Angola, northeastern South Africa and Uganda. Appearance / Average mass for a male Impala is approximately 75 kilograms while females weigh approximately 40 to 53 kilograms. They are reddish-brown in color (hence the Afrikaans name of “Rooibok”), have lighter flanks and white underbellies with a characteristic “M” marking on its rear. Males, referred to as rams, have lyre-shaped horns which can reach up to 90 centimeters in length. Females, referred to as ewes, have no horns. Ecology / Impala are among the dominant species in many savannas. They can adapt to different environment by being grazers in some areas and browsers in others. They graze when the grass is green and growing and browse at other times. They will browse on shoots, seedpods and foliage. / Herds will use specific areas for their excrement. Impala are active during both day and night and are dependent on water. A herd is normally an indicator of water close by. Impala can thrive in areas where pure grazers can not survive. When frightened or startled the whole impala herd starts leaping about in order to confuse their predator. They can jump distances more than 9 meters (30 ft) and 2.5 meters (8 ft) high. Leopards, cheetah, Nile crocodiles, lions, spotted hyenas and wild dogs prey on impala. Impala can reach running speeds of around 80 to 90 km/h (50-55 mph).[2] Social structure and reproduction / Females and young form herds of up to two hundred individuals. When food is plentiful, adult males will establish territories and round up any female herd that enter their grounds and will chase away bachelor males that follow. They will even chase away recently weaned males. A male impala tries to prevent any female from leaving its territory. During the dry seasons, territories are abandoned as herds must travel farther to find food. Large, mixed tranquil herds of females and males form. / Young male impala who have been made to leave their previous herd form bachelor herds of around thirty individuals. Males that are able to dominate their herd are contenders for assuming control of their territory. The breeding season of impala, also called rutting, begins toward the end of the wet season in May. The entire affair typically lasts approximately three weeks. While young are born after seven months, the mother has the ability to delay giving birth for an additional month if conditions are harsh. When giving birth a female impala will isolate herself from the herd despite numerous attempts by the male to keep her in his territory. The impala mother will keep the fawn in an isolated spot for a few days or even leave it lying out in hiding for a couple days, weeks, or more before returning to the herd. There the fawn will join a nursery group and will go to its mother only to nurse and when predators are near. Fawns are suckled for 4 to 6 months. Males who mature are forced out of the group and will join bachelor herds. Information from Wikipedia Kruger National Park / Sabie Camp / South Africa Canon EOS450D

  • We were in a safari vehicle in central Kruger National Park and were crossing a river when we saw the mother and calf running, obviously in great distress. Our guide, who had been a “problem animal officer” in a park said he had never seen an elephant so frightened. The mother kept looking back to check on the rest of the group to see if they were following. On 6/11/2009 this photo had had 560 viewings.
