Photographers can never get enough of colorful birds like the Lilac-breasted Roller. It is incredibly photogenic and it takes very little effort to produce artistic images with this bird as the subject!

The mighty mongoose is a fierce fighter and often moves around as a gang. It is fearless, has lightning-quick reflexes, and has no hesitation in taking on even poisonous snakes. Most predators leave it alone.

Here’s another from the archives from a Tanzania trip with Todd Gustafson. Lion mating is a long term “affair” which goes on for days on end. I’ve had the fortunate opportunity to witness this behavior on almost every African trip. During the mating process, the lions don’t hunt or eat and are solely concerned with producing offspring. The expression on their faces says it all, it does not look pleasurable. Yet it seems always the female that initiates he coupling. If the male attempts to get frisky, he will be sternly rebuked. When the lioness is ready, she will make it know by her body language and may rub-up against the male who is always willing to accommodate. The first time I experienced lions mating I was on safari with my wife Nancy. For reasons I can’t remember, our vehicle could not be started and we were stuck right next to the mating lions. The lions weren’t going anywhere and neither were we. Nancy had to go to the bathroom and asked our driver if she could get out on the other side of the van away from the lions to relieve herself. “They will kill you” came his immediate reply. Fortunately, many other vehicles came by and formed a line of cars between our vehicle and the lions. Quickly, one driver tied a rope to the front of our vehicle and pulled it far enough away for them to repair the problem. Lifetime memories!

The name of the baobab tree, “bu hibab,” means “fruit with many seeds.” The trees can grow up to 25 meters tall and live for thousands of years. The tree only blooms for the first time after 20 years.
They symbolically and impressively shape the image of the African savanna.

Der Name des Baobabs „bu hibab“ = “Frucht mit vielen Samen”. Die Bäume können bis zu 25 Meter hoch und tausende von Jahren alt werden. Erst nach 20 Jahren blüht der Baum zum ersten Mal.
Sie prägen symbolisch + eindrucksvoll das Bild der afrikanischen Savanne.
