I went out one morning this week looking for someone I hadn’t seen in a while. Someone who has become a crowd favourite, and her story is remarkable. The mission was simple. Find her, see how she’s doing, maybe get a few close-up shots if possible.
What I wasn’t expecting was that on the way back to camp, I’d see something on the horizon that I genuinely couldn’t place. A flock of birds in the distance, moving in a way that didn’t look quite right. By the time I’d worked out what they were, I was already chasing them through the bush. Dodging trees, hanging on over the bumps, camera in my hand, just trying to keep up and get some shots. Not the most incredible footage, but a lot of fun was had in the process.
Later in the week, a stunning misty sunrise over the Sand River, then trundling around the north and bumping into the Xinzele Female trying her luck on a herd of impala.
A week of small stories. None of them was where I was looking. All of them worth telling.
