Wonderful photo of the African Paradise Flycatcher!
Most of out friends marvel at the beutiful red African sunsets which rival those we see daily over the Gulf of Mexico.

Pete, I loved the picture of the African paradise flycatcher, and the dazzle of zebra, and the mother giraffe licking her calf. Well done!

Hi Peter, the two young males are the Mhangeni Male (slightly thicker mane and a son of the Majingilanes – only remaining male of the original nine from that group of Mhangeni sub-adults, two of the females have rejoined their mothers) and the Nkuhuma Male, who is several months younger and a son of the Birmingham Boys. The Mhangeni Male joined the Nkuhuma Pride in September 2018 and two of his brothers joined him, but they didn’t pull through the bad case of mange they had, and slowly but surely he was accepted into the Pride. He ventured down south and was with the four Southern Pride members and two young Talamati Males, and the Nkuhuma Male was seen on Londolozi a few weeks ago with the injured Birmingham Male, and then both boys returned to the Northern Sabi Sands and were seen briefly with the Nkuhuma Pride (who now have nine cubs with the three Northern Avocas), before I assume the Avocas pushed them out again.

What spectacular pictures! Loved the hyena high jump act. The sunsets were gorgeous and love seeing the huge herd of buffalo. Thank you Victoria

Mesmerizing photographs, especially the leopardess with the hyena jumping to try and get in on the action.
