Protective mum

Hwange is known for its thriving Elephant population. This picture was taken at Kennedy 1 waterhole on a late afternoon game drive. Her defensive posture, protecting her baby, came about as another breeding herd of Elephant approached the waterhole...

Graceful Acrobat

A beautiful bird, the Bataleur Eagle is one of many amazing bird species to be found in Hwange National Park...

Early Beauty


We spotted this Leopard at about 07:15 at Kennedy 1 coming to drink in perfect early morning light !
An amazing site !

Curious Eyes


Whilst wondering around camp with my camera some birds alerted me to these 2 beautiful Lesser Bushbabies... Just watching over the days proceedings...

Absorbing Sunlight

This Lilac-Breasted Roller was seen on a rather cold early morning game drive near Kennedy 1 waterhole, all fluffed up trying to warm itself...

Beautiful Sunset

This area is called Mbiza ... Amazing contrast to the rest of the park with the Ilala Palms, only accessible through The Hide Safaris or Wilderness Safaris, so the area is very exclusive ...

One for the Birders

This Rare Yellow morph of the Crimson-breasted Shrike as well as another one have been seen quite frequently around Hwange National Park Main Camp for the last few months... An amazing sighting for avid birders...
