Some More Wildlife around our workplace.

One of our resident warthog offspring visiting the workshop backdoor in search for some juicy marula fruits.

I really tried to get a picture where one can see the juice slobbering from their mouths but they did not oblige.

Still such a pleasure to be able to share their space with them.

Who is hiding in the rocks?

 

This Puff Adder was lying just in the middle of the parking area at our shop.

We could barely see it lying there.

This is quite a closeup shot.

Planet Baobab

We recently took a break and visited Planet Baobab, on the edges of the Ntwetwe Pan near Gweta. Here are a few images that I captured.

Wild Hibiscus flower, 

much sought after by these beetles

One of the other very colourful and interesting dwellers of the baobab trees at Planet Baobab

This frog is only about an inch long from head to tail, and has metallic green stripes. It would not oblige by sitting still for me to get a proper photo of it.

Stuck in the bush!!

I had to do some work in the bush again at Zarafa and Selinda Camps in the Linyanti area in the North of Botswana.
Could not get a plane out and had to wait an extra day for an available flight.
Quite a place to get stuck in. Just sooo beautiful!!

A Sunset with a difference...

We met up with two Male Lions strolling along after a kill of Zebra the previous day.

Eventually it was just too much hard work to be walking and decided to take a rest.
Very well Fed!!
