E P I S O D E 7:
Worth Another Look

So what started out as a planned episode about Kudu Antelopes fighting, became an episode with a story and a reminder that Kruger National Park has so much more beauty to offer, and that we should never take this for granted.

Sometimes, taking another look at the general game is necessary. During my preparation for this episode, I realised that I even might have taken some animals for granted.

Also in this episode, I share a very special, eye opening moment I had with a guest and a Giraffe.

Share and Enjoy!

Bad Reputation 🤔

Hyenas have a really bad reputation amongst most people across the world. There is a very good reason for that. There are actually quite a few reasons why people have this misconception of who Hyenas really are.

But there is another side to Hyenas that people don't often see. I discuss that in this episode.

And, I share a few sightings, photos and videos I have had in the past.

Enjoy! 😁

PATIENCE + PERSISTENCE = REWARD:
On a recent Photographic Safari in northern Kruger, we stopped on a bridge to photograph some Black Storks, they were flying up along the river bed towards us...

As soon as they were all gone, and as I was about the start the vehicle I heard monkeys alarm calling on the other side of the river bed, very far from us.

I told my client we need to wait it out and see what this is, it could be a Leopard they are alarm calling for, and this could potentially be our first Leopard of the Safari.

Long story short, they alarm called for about 30 minutes, and then about 300 meters up stream 2 Leopards appeared, walking in our direction.

We lost visual soon after as they went up the river bank, but the monkeys never stopped alarm calling. We waited another 30 minutes or so and eventually 1 of the 2 Leopards come down the river bank into the river and started walking towards us, from 300m away.

This sighting developed from seeing a Leopard 300m away to having it literally next to our vehicle...

An absolutely incredible moment for us, and the way we worked for it, through patience and persistence. We ended up spending 2h45min in total at this location, and 1h45min of viewing the Leopard, with only 2 other cars eventually joining our sighting.

Share and Enjoy 😎
