There is nothing more spectacular than watching an animal in the wild. Perhaps the only thing that can rival this is to see not just one animal but lots of animals. Great big herds of individuals making up groups that simply take your breathe away. Traditionally, it has been East Africa that has been known for these large herds, but here at Londolozi we are often graced by magnificent congregations of animals too.
To sit in amongst a herd of any animal is a privilege and a very special moment in anyones life. To see the sheer abundance of life in Africa is mind-blowing. We are so fortunate here to have large numbers of big charismatic species; graced in beauty and intrigue. A highlight of any safari at Londolozi may be the chance to live this dream and be held momentarily in a space of joy and wonder. To watch these animals interact with each other and be part of ‘a greater being’.
I hope you enjoy this piece showing just a few of the large herds that call Londolozi home.

The beauty of nature……
Great post Ad, nature always seems to provide a positive to every negative. 6 weeks ago the reserve was flooding and many plants, trees and animals washed downstream. Now the grass is long, new life has sprung up and the game viewing of these herbivore populations is more bountiful than I have ever witnessed before. As you say, it does remind you of something out of East Africa. rich
I am passionate about wild life and the outdoors, the bush, the birds, the very air, the sunsets, the early morning freshness, the sounds … I am so grateful there is a way for those of us who do not have the financial means to enjoy it. Thank you for being my eyes and ears and sharing it with me! i do not miss a blog entry.
Louise it is a pleasure. I am glad to hear that you enjoy the blog. Be sure to spread the word so that we can spread the love, passion and enjoyment of nature! – Adam
