I was filming this mother elephant and her tiny little calf walking down to a waterhole in the riverbed when the little one got a bit too excited and tripped in the sand. What a sweet moment in nature. | The Safari Expert

After seeing some fresh leopard tracks on either side of it, I recently put up a trail camera at what I call, Second Bridge, and to my great surprise, at least two different leopards use it!

Watch as these two younger bulls interact with the much-larger older bull. He is so gentle with them and there's not doubt in my mind that there's respect and even love between them. This was filmed near Lower Sabie in South Africa's Kruger National Park. | The Safari Expert

This trail camera monitors a marking tree in The Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate and on this particular morning, a massive troop of baboons ran past it. One with a baby even sat in the tree for a moment... I wonder what had spooked them!?🤔 | The Safari Expert

I couldn't believe it when Mafu and Kulua, two of the dominant leopard in The Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, mated right in front of my trail camera. What made it even more amazing, was the fact that they did so in broad daylight and with temperatures soaring! | The Safari Expert

During the summer rains, dung beetles in Southern Africa create dung balls and then roll them to a spot where the earth is wet enough to bury it. This one not only had to roll a MASSIVE dung ball, but his mate too. The moment he hit an obsticle, he quickly rushed to the top to see what it was, before he carried on rolling... | The Safari Expert

We came across this stunning black-maned lion just south of Savuti campsite in January last year. He put on quite the show, roaring numerous times right next to our car. I love that he flopped down and then continued roaring 😂 and boy, how close was that encounter at the end!? | The Safari Expert

I spotted this beautiful male leopard along the H10 tar road north of Lower Sabie in the Kruger National Park. For some reason, he didn't like being watched and quickly dashed to the ground seconds after I stopped next to him, despite being nearly 50 metres away from me. | The Safari Expert

On a recent summer trip to The Kruger National Park, I saw this elephant cow sleeping on her side right next to the road. Note how she used the slope to make getting up a little bit easier.

I was busy working in the office when our dogs alerted me to something outside the window - a baby bushbaby! Its mother quickly came down to fetch it after I took the dogs away, grabbing it in her mouth and jumping back up to her nest in our thatch roof. | The Safari Expert

Many years ago, we found this leopard female (named Shadow) with two tiny little cubs at Elephant Plains Game Lodge in the Sabi Sands, South Africa. Their den site at the time was a culvert under the road, but we were lucky enough to bump into them whilst the little ones were out and about one morning. | The Safari Expert

The sound of summer! 😍 Woodland Kingfishers are intra-African migrants that typically arrive in the South African Lowveld around mid-November. Then, for at least a couple of months, this sound reminds us that it’s summer and a time of plenty… 🌿🌿🌿🐝🦗🦋🐛🌿🌿🌿 | The Safari Expert

It was an early summer's morning in the Kruger National Park when I came across a mega herd of African elephants south of Satara Rest Camp. There must have over a hundred of them - bulls, cows and lots of calves - and they all approched me like a massive grey wall. Eventually they 'swallowed' my car, before disappearing into the distance... Pure Kruger magic! | The Safari Expert
