It’s really hard to believe that we’ve been home from the Kruger National Park for a week already. We’re still trying to adjust back to city life, would you believe!? Were still pining for Satara, our tent, our camping beds and almost daily braais (traditional South African barbeques)… So we’re going over our notes and imagining the 46 kinds of mammals, 195 kinds of birds, and myriad of insects, butterflies, scorpions, spiders, amphibians and reptiles we crossed paths with while camping at Satara for a month.
While we were on holiday many of you enquired after Joubert’s pictures of the trip, so here for your enjoyment and to ease our blues is a selection of his best photographs!

Pragtige foto’s Joubert! Dries julle het omtrent baie diere gesien! Dis altyd moeilik om weer aan te pas na so ‘n wonderlike vakansie
Dit was n wonderlike vakansie, Aletta, en was verby in n oogwink! Baie dankie vir die gawe kommentaar.
😊👍
Oh my, these are STUNNING! I’ll be counting down the days for the next 8 months before our trip 😄
The anticipation and planning of a Kruger trip is half the fun!
Great post😀
Very kind of you, thank you!
No way! They are so good. Joubert is a pro. Love, love, love all the action shots. The painted wolf is breathtaking. We have been trying to take a couple of decent photos of some fruit bats with no luck. And Joubert does it just like that! We are full of admiration.
Thank you so much, Tracy!
Being in a safe place like Satara Joubert could wander around unescorted and take photos to his heart’s content. What a wonderful opportunity, so scarce in today’s world.
It is. He has an eye, and I am betting a love, for the natural environment.
That is very, very true, Tracy. What a privilege to be his parents.
❤
What a wonderful variety of photographs!
Thank you, Anne!
Sjoe dis n pragtige versameling en van jul is uitstaande fotos. Wel gedaan Joubert jy is n fotograaf duisend.
Opreg baie dankie, Ineke!
Groot plesier.
These are excellent period, no matter the age. The bat with the tongue out is quite something. My compliments to the photographer.

Joubert is very proud of how those bat photos came out, Janet – they’re quite unusual! Thank you so much for the kind compliment.
Bravo, Joubert! Please tell Joubert I’m very proud of him. His photos are simply wonderful considering his age. 😃
Thanks very much, H.J!
Joubert–these are wonderful! I especially liked the restless leopard and snarling lion.
Thank you so much, Lois!
En so neem Joubert klaar mooier fotos as wat ek en Bertus ooit kan droom!
Dut is baie gaaf van jou, Una – baie dankie!
Pragtig… Joubert word ‘n kranige fotograaf!
Baie dankie Tina. Hy word beslis beter elke keer wat ons bos toe mik!
Mens kan nie ‘n gunsteling foto kies nie. Almal is uitsonderlik! Ek sal self bietjie opkyk oor die vlermuis wat so helder oordag op en wakker en aan die gaap is vir mense. Ek waardeer nog steeds die aandag wat julle gee aan die ‘kleiner’ soort diere!
Baie dankie vir die gawe kommentaar, Petru!
