AFTERNOON GLOW
A mother cheetah and her 3 cubs soak up the last of the afternoon sun in a clearing. The cubs play is not only fun, but vital learning for adult life

There is something so regal about a Male Leopard. It is truly a symbol of power.

TEARS OF GOLD
Bull Elephants are chased out of the herd when reaching sexual maturity, and will go out on their own until such time as they can join another herd to breed. They will often be found feeding on their own, like this one, in an open clearing.
Cheetah numbers are on a steady decline, and a sighting of this rare cat really stirs the soul. This mother and her 3 cubs moved onto a termite mound as a vantage point to look out for both threats and prey. The tear-marks on her face

that these
cats find themselves in. A

ZEBRA CROSSING
BUSHVELD ICON
Zebras are such unique animals, and their
sometimes goofy nature makes them top many
safari-goers wishlists. On taking this image.
the joke made was that "This is how Zebra
Crossings are made".
The Bateleur, whose name is derived from a French word for a street juggler,has a unique flying style, rocking gently on the thermals. Their colours are truly iconic in the African bush, and are truly one of Africa's most beautiful raptors

RAINBOW HUNTER
TUSKS AT DUSK
The flashes of colour in a Malachite Kingfishers plumage make them one of my personal favourite photographic subjects. Their small size and delicate nature detracts from the fact that they are
in fact highly efficient hunters. They patrol the reed-beds, suddenly diving into the water to grab prey. A truly amazing little bird
In the height of the dry season, in South Africa's Timbavati Game Reserve, elephant herds move through the Mopani thickets on their way to drink, before the darkness of night settles in. The dust that is kicked up creates an almost halo effect on these beautiful creatures. In this image, a young calf tries to catch up with its mother, after having been a little over-interested in a stick.

BRIGHT CAMOUFLAGE
PEEK-A-BOO
The African Green Pigeon is a bright and welcome visitor to many parts of the Northern and Eastern parts of Southern Africa, with large flocks also found in Central Africa. They are fruit eaters, and are often found in Fig trees, gorging themselves on the figs in spring. Their melodious call has always been a sound of home to me.
Lions, whilst seen by many as ferocious killers, are surprisingly shy if they have not been habituated to vehicles, and this recently released lioness was a case in point. She seemed to play a game of peek-a-boo with us as she investigated us.

FLYING RAINBOW
The Lilac-breasted Roller is one of the favourite birds of Safari-goers, and hence is one of Africa's most photographed birds. Getting it's name from its characteristic aerial courtship display, this flying rainbow brightens up any environment it is found in.

ON A STROLL
Another popular bird to see on safari, Ground Hornbill populations have decreased drastically due to severe habitat loss. They nest in large holes in dead trees, and therefore, through the placement of nesting boxes in large trees, conservation efforts and researchers are repopulating them areas where they had previously disappeared

SPOTS IN MOTION
Leopards are truly incredible creatures, living solitary lives and fending for themselves. THey are not at the top of the predator food chain, and often have kills stolen by hyenas and lions. They avoid this by trying to hoist their kills into trees wherever possible. They are stealthy hunters that rely on ambush to hunt.

RESTING IN SHADE
African Wild Dogs, or Painted Wolves as they are sometimes known, are spectacularly coloured, but extremely rare, due to habitat loss. These animals have been on the IUCN Endangered List for years, but successful conservation efforts are slowly bringing them back to areas where they had nearly disappeared.

ON ALERT
GOLDEN STRIPES
Helmeted Guinefowl are some of the most unique birds in the African bush, and are a firm- favourite with safari-goers. They are always worth watching as they are also very reliable alarm birds, warning all around them of approaching predators, both from the sky and the ground.
Burchell's Zebra are the most common and widespread species of Zebra found in South Africa. Whilst their markings would seem to make them stand out, they break up the outline of the animal to predators, who mostly cannot see in colour.

SEARCHING FOR THERMALS
CAMOUFLAGED KILLER
Vultures are relatively large and heavy birds, and because of this, need to expend as little energy as possible whilst flying long distances in search of food. To do this, they will normally wait for the ground to heat up, creating thermals, for them to glide on, making the search for food almost effortless.
The Rosetted patterns on a leopard's fur truly create a beautiful yet deadly camouflage. These rosettes break up the outline of the cat whilst hunting, often making them undetectable by sight to many of their prey species. Leopards are largely solitary hunters, and are generally found in more than one animal, only when mating or with cubs. Having said that, cubs will generally only stay with their mother for about 2 years, after which they too begin their solitary journeys. I have massive respect for these amazing cats as they take on the world largely on their own.

PERCHED AND READY
PRETTY POLLINATOR
The African Fish Eagle is a true African icon. Its hunting behaviour, swooping down to grab its prey from the water, its iconic call, an almost anthem of Africa, and its beautiful plumage make it a firm favourite amongst safari-goers. This adult uses this dead Leadwood tree as vantage point from which to spot prey.
Butterflies form an essential part in the pollination of many plant and tree species. These small but wonderful creatures and their intricate differences give almost behind-the-scenes assistance in the survival of so
many ecosystems
