Waterbuck, wildebeest and impala herd in the Kruger National Park South Africa. Sticking together definitely has it’s advantages with so many lions around. - - - #waterbuck #wildebeest #impala (at Kruger National park Crocodile Bridge gate) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxHRQMfATDO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kfbjdvbdrbll

My favourite kind of road block in the Kruger National Park. A mischievous baby elephant playing in the dusty road. Could watch him all day. - - - #elephant #elephants #babyelephants #babyelephant #elephantbaby (at Satara Rest Camp - Kruger National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxEqsNOAGBL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11wf8vu8n5om0

“Mud bath” A chilled out white rhino takes a mud bath to escape the heat of the day. With so much poaching throughout Africa, it’s nice to see a relaxed rhino ; many have become skittish around vehicles and humans. It’s a sad state of affairs that I hope humanity can reverse. Because poachers and associated organisations and criminal gangs can use rhino sightings to build up a pattern of where the animals are regularly sighted, i no longer pin locations to my shots and ask other photographers to do the same. - - - https://www.instagram.com/p/BwrDZGABjHT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qc2yy1g3h7kl

White rhino portrait. Always a privilege to be able to spend time with these gentle giants. Due to the increase in poaching and traffic in rhino horn, I no longer post or pinpoint the location of my rhino sightings and would encourage other wildlife photographers to do the same. The less data and information we give away to poaching gangs the better. - - - #rhino https://www.instagram.com/p/BwmFOoJhtpw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9st82k9561vi

One of the many things I love about the Kruger National Park is that you never know what’s going to be around the next twist in the road. From mighty elephants to tiny tortoises, we’ve seen it all. This warthog was in a hurry to get somewhere, barely giving us a second glance as he trotted past. - - - (at Kruger National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWYm_hhlp0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12zi3aczesmn2

My favourite kind of roadblock. Could sit and watch these incredible animals all day. And sometimes you don’t have a choice in the matter when a large herd decides to take its time crossing the road - surrounding you on all sides. Slightly nerve wracking - but incredible too. Captured in the Kruger National Park South Africa. - - - (at Satara Rest Camp - Kruger National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwTsQIeBQb8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xwlpk8qtpd6f

It’s amazing what can just materialise before your eyes when you take a moment to sit and wait in the Kruger National Park South Africa. This gorgeous young hyena literally popped up before our eyes and casually crossed the road in front of us - after giving us a cursory once over to see if there was any food around. - - - (at Crocodile Bridge Camp) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwRWYTPhUEG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=35755t78fjf4

We haven’t seen ostrich in the Kruger National Park for years. So do see twenty two together was pretty special. They freak me out a little I have to be honest. There’s something strangely prehistoric about their feet that reminds me of Spielberg’s velociraptors. Wouldn’t want to meet one on a dark night. - - - #ostrich #ostriches (at Skukuza, Mpumalanga, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv6Bwk7ACwW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fver6la1hev2

There’s something a little unnerving about being eye-level with a large, Male white rhino. Holding the camera steady can be a bit of a challenge. This old boy was being super protective of a cow and calf a little further back in the bush. Fantastic close encounter. Because of the threat of poaching, I no longer tag locations or dates on my rhino shots and encourage other photographers to do the same. - - - https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv3gCU1AiGe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f3alia5icjxb
