After the first of the summer rains have fallen we have had a constant reminder of the approaching wet season from ever present clouds. Condensation that promises life and a change for the better for the struggling herbivores that call this relentless piece of bush home. Clouds not only eventually offer relief to the bush but provide some incredible texture to the vast African sky. There are few better things around than watching colours develop and change with the sinking sun.
This week we also have a look at some of Don Heyneke’s images from the past week, a slightly less colourful approach but his preferred way of conveying the bush and animals he is so passionate about.
Enjoy our week in Pictures!

Beautiful images. Love the black and white photos.
All really beautiful photographs Simon and Don! What a great week of pictures!
Hi Simon, cracking photos, were the b/w photos by Don Heyneke shot on film or digital? If asked to guess I would say they look as if they were shot on film.
Hi Ian, sorry for the delayed reply. They were all taken on a digital camera. Beautiful shots either way though!
Thank you Simon, that is why I don’t bet.
By the way, when I got home and started looking through the pictures I found that I had finally got a really good Buffalo photo.
I am still buzzing over the fantastic game drives with yourself and Andrea.
I can’t thank you both enough for the fantastic time I had at Londolozi.
Beautiful pictures as always. Thanks guys
I like the male rhino photo the best.
