Disappearing into South Africa's wild places… Again!

A great shot I can relate to quite vividly. Although Canada may not have all the wild life of your home, I met a young, 2000 lb bull moose while walking in the relatively wilds of northern Ontario. I remember a look very similar to your neightbour shown above. I walked away…backwards…very slowly. Look forward to seeing more. Thanks for dropping by and liking my more recent action shots from the west coast wild….
Thank you for joining us at de Wets Wild and sharing your exhilirating story! What an experience!
Had one or two nasty buffalo moments in Kenya. This is definitely more than close enough. Great shot, de Wets. Envy your weekend, but am sure you all had the best time.
We had another great visit to the Kruger Park Tish, ended much to soon as always and now we’re back in the city with loads of pictures to share.
Buffaloes are often underestimated because the appear so docile. Hope you’ll share those buffalo stories with us on your blog!?
A lovely picture of head and horns poking through the trees.
Thank you Christov!
Yeah close enough… 😉
Impressive… 🙂
Thank you ledrakenoir!
Super cool capture Dries. Wonderful. Glad you guys kept your distance.
Have a great week now that you’re all rested from your long weekend 😉
Thanks very much Joey!
We’re going home Tuesday and still have all tomorrow to enjoy the Park. At the moment I am sitting in the hide at the floodlit waterhole next to the camp fence, watching a herd of elephant slake their thirst 😉
Regards to Marks and keep well dear friends!
You just had to say that, didn’t you Dries. You just knew I would be envious 😉 Super that you have a long weekend to enjoy. Hope you’re getting in some night shots.
Enjoy every minute 🙂
This is a great photo… that Buff has an angry look about him… love it… the Buff is one of my favourite animals.. so much power that seems to be in such a docile body , but beware it can go off like a bomb and maybe that is why I love it… scared of nothing…
Thanks very much Bulldog! Yes, even lions tread carefully when tackling buffaloes, and for very good reason!
Yup, that’s enough.
The stare alone will see you keep your distance!
