Miike, I agree with you 100%. This is why the first time we were in Londolozi I was making plans to return. And we did. And I was making plans to return for the 3rd time. And I will by myself this time so I can immerse myself in a piece of heaven on earth for at least a week!! Looking forward to seeing you again.

They call it Africa. We call it Home! So beautifully written Suth…

Be still my heart.
These pieces are my favorites…..and sitting in West Hollywood, something I desperately need.
Thanks so much!

Thank you Mike that was an outstanding blog! As with most of them, I go back, recall the words, pictures & especially because of the “feeling” that you show in each one you post. I’ve re-read the Londolozi Spirit & would like to compliment you on your pictures in this one as they have “matured” as you I guess you have over the past months, I mean that in a good way! Thank you & long may you capture the senses for us homebodies who long for these posts & maybe I will get there to feel it myself!

In the midst of my daily routine, with travel, traffic, technology and urban life — I always know that the African bush and Londolozi exist simultaneously to the world I spend more time in. It’s the strangest form of yin and yang, and it calms and makes me smile a knowing smile.

I visualize an elephant making its rapid yet fluid way along, a dung beetle furiously working at its very particular work. The cats, when they look you in the eye (a privilege) — and keep on keepin’ on. It is poetry in motion and nature at its finest; an antedote to the digital world I work in.

I love knowing about Londolozi’s world, albeit in brief bursts. I am thankful for your blog, digital as it is, as it lets me visit often.

What lovely photos !!Thanks Mike for showing us again the wonders of the bush.Nothing more precious than being in the bush just taking it all in

Mike, your article today is just wonderful!!!!! Your images and the sentiments expressed, encapsulate “that special feeling” for those of us who have been fortunate enough to experience it at Londolozi. I can identify strongly with your message in every aspect. Being ambassadors and guiding the future are undoubtedly significant elements in a ranger’s role description. Rangers and trackers at Londolozi undertake this teaching role and share the story so well!!!! Can’t wait to “be” there again come September!

HI MIKE,
THANKS AGAIN FOR SUCH A WELL WRITTEN BLOG AND FOR THE WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHS.
THE CONNECTION I MAKE WITH MY CREATOR WHEN I AM AT LONDOLOZI MAKES ME FEEL SO CONNECTED WITH ALL OF HIS WONDERFUL CREATIONS, WHICH I REFER TO AS “THE BUSH”.
MIKE WHEN I RECEIVED THE EMAIL FROM YOU YESTERDAY, I DID NOT QUITE KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT WHEN YOU SAID THAT “YOU WERE DEEPLY CONNECTED TO LONDOLOZI”.
I NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEANT!
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SPENDING MANY HOURS WITH YOU LATER THIS YEAR EXPLORING AND ONCE AGAIN CONNECTING WITH THE WILDERNESS WE ARE SO PRIVELEDGED TO BE PART OF.
KIND REGARDS,
TED.

Beautiful blog and photos. Can you tell me what lens you used for the river shot? Love it…
Thanks
Leslie

Leslie, I used a Canon 10-22mm 3.5-5.6 lens! Great addition to my kit!

Most magical place anyone could ever visit and if you have been lucky enough to work here………WOW the Londolozi family is etched in my heart forever!

From now on, I’m going to start my day with this video. The sounds and wonder of the bushveld just right things somehow….thank you Mike!
