Chad - thank you so very much - your photos are simply breathtaking .... LOVE the very first one "approaching darkness" but all your landscapes are lovely and capture the remotesness and beauty of our beloved KTP in all its glory :thumbs_up:

I love your yellow mongoose portfolio too and all your stunning silhouettes - too beautiful for words - and how did you get an ant-eating chat to sit still long enough for that amazing shot ? You have some great inter-species interactions too - love the vulture on the eland with the jackal walking past especially ....

Awesome stuff :clap: :clap: :clap:

:redface: Thank YOU for the feedback :) We're having that "approaching darkness" image printed for our room :)

Thanks once again for the compliments :) we found a few Ant-eating Chats around an anthill, so we waited for a while and this one in particular found us very interesting and posed for a few seconds. We got very lucky on our trip and saw some wonderful things :) Also being there for 15 days helped as well :)

:thumbs_up:

Thank you very much :redface: We found that mongoose family living in a den near out campsite. We spent about 3hrs a day lying on a towel a few metres from the den taking pics of them. They became quite comfortable with us, and after a while acted as if we weren't even there :mrgreen:

Hi Chad,

Your pictures are so beautiful. It's a pleasure to look at them.
It is hard to pick a favourite, but if I had to pick one, I think my favourite would the one with the wildebeest!
Breathtaking :thumbs_up:

Please post some more pics.

Nina

Its the second most beautiful place in the world (First being the Waterberg area where I now live), and the best place from game viewing in my opinion :D
