There was a little excitement on the property today with a fire getting out of hand at the dump site. I headed over to help, but was a little late as they had it under control by that time, I was a bit disappointed, it was the perfect opportunity to get my firefighters badge. Kim, on the other hand, did receive his; he came home smelling like burned toast and looking like Bob the…I mean…postman…no…now I can’t think of a fireman character – lets just say he epitomized the FDNY, except even more hardcore as he was barefoot.
Now I recall from yesterday talking bout my stubborn visits to Nyari knowing there was not much going on, well, victory was mine. I met up with five elephant bulls about an hour before sunset and spent a bit of time with them.
It was nice to have a few chilled characters for a change. They were very inquisitive coming right up to the vehicle smelling and exploring the unknown.
I was chuffed! I then dashed over to Banyini to get the sunset with a dragon like cloud spreading across the sky. Last night the lions were reported at Banyini, but the interesting thing was this time there were four lionesses, three cubs and the two males. Looks like they are importing females from down south…Sjambok, just can’t seem to get enough.
Hopefully the little cub with the snare is there and perhaps he can be darted and the snare removed. Sounds like the pride is growing!
What is the title of today’s lovely background music?
How do you decide what music to accompany your videos?
Hi Eve,
The title to that background music is only a track number in my limited music library, which we have license to use. It was, however, used in one of Kim’s leopard films. The decision of which track to use is rather a quick flick through the first few seconds of a few tracks until I find something that fits the mood. I’m really into the strings at the moment, glad you’re enjoying it.

I also love the music you pick, very relaxing
My first introduction to Africa’s guinea fowl was through Pete’s Pond. Every morning at dawn, they would run in a long line to the pond. I looked forward to that. I never would have guessed that the ubiquitous guinea fowl would remind me of Africa as much as any of the larger animals we come to associate with Africa! Oh, and I loved the slow motion of the impala running and kicking. I didn’t realize that they nearly make two separate steps with their front feet before their rear feet hit the ground.
