A Dwarf Mongoose suns itself in the late afternoon at the entrance to its burrow.

We were just in time to catch this Brown Snake-Eagle taking flight from the top of a very tall marula tree.

The Three Rivers Young Female. It has been a great privilege being able to watch this young female leopard grow from a tiny cub into the beginning stages of her independence. She is a beautiful leopard and seems like she will be considerably larger than her mother one day

A classic sunset scene from one of the open crests to the east of the Londolozi camps.

We were fortunate to have enough time to get a few good pictures of this adult Spotted Eagle-Owl before it flew away into the night. They have the most incredible, rich yellow eyes.

The Nkoveni Young Male takes a short break in the dappled shade of an African Weeping Wattle tree. He has gained considerable size and confidence and now roams across a large portion of eastern Londolozi.

Elephants don’t linger long at a waterhole, especially when just going for a drink. The window to capture a moment of the whole herd drinking together is often brief. Fortunately, we spotted this herd approaching from a distance, which gave us enough time to get into position and prepare our composition. The result was a rewarding photographic opportunity.

Two young hippo bulls engage in a fight at one of the deep pools along the Sand River.

A Hamerkop waits patiently for any small fish to swim past. By slowing the shutter speed down a little, it creates a lovely, silky effect on the water and places more emphasis on the bird.

Probably the most photographed bird in Africa, but in good light and good conditions, I can’t resist. Here, one perches on a large marula tree, looking for any small insects on the ground below. The iconic Lilac-Breasted Roller.

It took a few attempts to get this one, but we were rewarded after a bit of patience as we managed to get a lovely backlit shot of this Pied Kingfisher who plunged into the Sand River a few times to cool itself down.

With not much light left in the day, we decided to head over to an open crest where we had seen some giraffes earlier in the afternoon. This young giraffe calf presented us with a great opportunity to photograph it with the sunset and the Drakensberg mountains on the horizon.

The Three Rivers Young Female raises her head to get a better view of a hyena wandering around in the distance.

This was my first view of one of the youngest hyena cubs at a den that is just to the south of our airstrip. With their mother nearby, they were very confident and inquisitive.

A morning with the Ndzanzeni Female, I’ll never forget. We spent almost 2 hours with her as she wandered through the far south eastern parts of the reserve, marking her territory. This was the final moment, as she watched her crossing the Sand River before disappearing into the dense Phragmites.

A small flock of Yellow-Billed Oxpeckers, as well as a single Red-billed Oxpecker (pictured to the left of the image), rest on the back of a large buffalo bull.

A very fun morning tracking the Three Rivers Female. Here she walks down a dirt track toward us. The snort of a distant herd of impala briefly caught her attention.

A minimalistic sunrise scene from one of the crests in the southeastern parts of the reserve. I always try and make time to enjoy the simple things in life. They are often the most special.

The frantic distress calls of a large herd of impalas caught our attention from some distance away, so we wasted no time and made our way into the area. We were met by the Three Rivers Female, who was in the process of suffocating a big ram that she had just caught.

A male Saddle-Billed Stork tries to usher a small shoal of fish towards the shallows. As he spread his wings, the beautiful backlight caught the white feathers across the tips of his wings and made for some great photos.

The Ximungwe Female rests atop a dead, fallen Marula tree. It made for some great photographic opportunities, with this black and white high-key image being one of my favourites.
