Our second day at uMkhuze Game Reserve and certainly no reason to complain – wonderful weather, beautiful scenery and amazing wildlife in abundance!

Another great collection – proof that even the tiny can be just as impressive as the large!
The best way to enjoy nature is to spend time on the small and seemingly insignificant.
Sjoe, wat ‘n mooi sonsondergang! Ag, dis lekker om so ‘n verskeidenheid diere te sien … baie dankie dat julle dit met ons deel.
Die voorreg is ons s’n!
I always look forward to sharing your adventures!
There will always be a seat for you, Kathy!
Your photos never cease to amaze me. How did you spot the Nightjar since it was getting so dark?
Thank you kindly, Hien. Nightjars are in the habit of sitting right in the road after dark, this one though didn’t fly away as they usually do when caught in a spotlight.
Such gorgeous photos! That little chameleon is charming and the light dancing off that amazing web takes one’s breath away…💕
Thanks a lot, Lori!
The uMkhuze Game Reserve has such a variety of animals. Interesting no doubt. Thanks D. 🙂
One of the most diverse conservation areas in South Africa, H.J, and renowned for its special birds!
Thanks for the great pics and sharing such a fabulous day!
What a place this is, Joep!
You found a nightjar! Well spotted!!!!! As for the golden-orb spider web: I inadvertently walked into a large web that is string across our front path – fortunately way below the spider itself. Will have to try and photograph it in better light tomorrow. You have seen a chameleon too! It gives me great joy seeing all these lovely photographs, Dries.
Thank you very much, Anne. We’re having such a wonderful time here at uMkhuze; I’m glad the photo’s convey some of that.
And I hope you get a super photo of the spider that tried to web you on your way to the gate!
