I photographed this beautiful African Goshawk near Kennedy 1, there were 2, but the second flew away before I could take a shot! I have been seeing them since in the same area!

Affectionate Kudus
I photographed these 2 Kudus having an affectionate moment on a termite mound near Ngweshla pan!
Surprisingly they stood ontop of the mound for a while, allowing us time to take a few shots.
Saddle-billed Storks
A male and female Saddle-billed Stork, I photographed them near Kennedy 1 pan!
Probably one of the above pair, seen on The Hide concession, preparing to go to sleep!
Cheetahs!
On an early morning game drive we were lucky enough to stumble upon these 2 Cheetahs crossing the road near Kennedy 1 pan! The above photo shows them looking out from a grass covered termite mound doen the Kennedy vlei! They stayed in this spot for about 3 hours, before continuing.
A mother and a sub-adult cub, the sub-adult is the one standing in the above photo, whilst mum lays hidden in the grass!
Later seen on the boundary of The Hide concession, here the female is marking her spot on a leadwood tree.
Crowned Cranes
The magnificent Grey Crowned Crane, moves into Hwange in the rainy season, breeding at certain pans.
I photographed this one, and it's partner near Makwa pan.
Rollers!
I have been unable to update beacuse of internet connection issues, now it has been upgraded, I will be able to continue posting!
Just to start off, some Rollers!
Lilac-breasted Roller, eating a grasshopper in the beautiful early morning light!
My first good shots of the European Roller, as it's name suggests, is a non-breeding migrant to Southern africa!
Hwange is lucky enough to have all 5 species of Southern African Roller occuring in the park, 2 of which are migratory.
