HLUHLUWE NATIONAL PARK

Below are some of the images we took on a prior visit to Hluhluwe.                    

AUSTIN ROBERTS BIRD SANCTUARY

The Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary is a nature reserve located in the Walkerspruit Open Space System, which is in the Nieuw Muckleneuk suburb of Pretoria, in South Africa.  It is a great place to spend a few hours just to unwind.

ALOE FARM

When the aloe's are in bloom at the Aloe Farm the Sun Birds are out to make the most of it.

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

On a previous visit to Kruger we were fortunate enough to see and photograph all of the big five. Below are some of our images from that trip.                              Those tourists are soooooo boring.

RIETVLEI NATURE RESERVE

Visited Rietvlei again as we needed a break from processing files. Spent the morning there where we captured some great images. Really a nice place just to relax and listen to the sounds of nature.

RIETVLEI NATURE RESERVE

Rietvlei Nature Reserve is situated South East of Pretoria and is run by the Council of Tswane. While it does not have the big five it is great for a day visit or even for a weekend as there is accommodation available in the form of chalets. There are numerous antelope, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra etc. as well as some great bird hides from which you can view the abundant bird life. Once a year, around January, parts of the reserve is covered in a thick carpet of purple and yellow flowers as can be seen in the image of the zebra below.
