Mudcrawlers
A herd of Buffalo wade into Bandama Pan, it's muddy weather and it can get dangerous for the calves if they get stuck in the mud.
Hyena Chop Stix
The older hyena cubs are interacting with the younger cubs now and a stick lying on the ground nearby, can lead to all kinds of sports.
Pin the Tail
Hyenas are up to some fun and games again with the males chasing after the cubs creating a dust storm.
Girohide
I camped out in the hide at Manuchi Pan waiting for some action just before sunset. The giraffe came down to drink, but were disturbed by the hyena moving in to claim their spot.
Snorkeling Hyenas
One of the hyena mothers drops a foetus from a kill in the pan and the cubs are desperate to find the piece of meat under the water.
Sky-herder
From the luxury Lodge overlooking Malilangwe Dam to the Chiredzi River and then flying over a herd of up to 300 buffalo - this makes for some breathtaking sequences.
Forced Takeover
One hyena cub zigzags its way over to a giraffe looking for a gap to drink at Manuchi pan, but the clan had it on a lock down, and the giraffe was left on the sidelines to wait its turn.
Hyena Sunrise Bath

Burning Rhino Backdrop
This year it was the Banyini area's turn to get roasted by a controlled burn. The animal's reaction is not quite what one would expect...
Chasing Vultures
The hyenas arrived at a giraffe that had died and guarded it through the night. when morning came the vultures attempted to claim their share - this was not going to happen.

With calm having returned to the waterhole, the doves came in in their droves to drink. The place was awash in Laughing Doves with the odd face of a Cape Turtle Dove showing up periodically.
Rhino Pick Up Lines
A White Rhino bull makes a few advances on a Rhino cow, but things don't always go that smoothly when it comes to romance.
Bon 'up-a-Tree'
Spring his here and many of the bushveld trees are in full flower. The Albizia's are being taken full advantage of by giraffe. Their long tongues provide to ultimate tool for reaching those out of reach flowers, because they're always the more preferred ...
Hyena Sports
The cubs break out into a new game almost every morning and finally I get to see the new born cubs emerge for their own sports.
Splash Master
This elephant bull has lost the tip of his trunk in a wire snare set by poachers. But he's adapted and still manages to drink without a problem AND is as happy as a pig in it as he splashes stirring up the mud at Nyari pan.
Buffalo Attraction
A large herd of buffalo treat themselves to a morning wade in Nyari Pan. They often spook themselves and end up racing in and out the water a few times.
