African bush elephants (Loxodonta africana) with plains zebra (Equus quagga) and African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in the background in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya.
African Buffalo or Cape Buffalo (syncerus caffer) is a large and powerful bovine, the African Buffalo reaches shoulder heights of up to 1.5 m and a mass of 750 kg. Both sexes have horns, those of the bulls are characterised by a heavy boss and upward curved horns. Buffalo herds can have significant ecological impact on the veld. Being a bulk grazer, they are responsible for converting long grasslands into short grassy environments conducive to other browsers with more selective feeding habits.
Kruger National Park is a South African National Park and one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of 19,623 km2 in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 km from north to south and 65 km from east to west.

African violets hold a special charm. Their petals seem as soft as a feather and their ruffles glint with sparkles in the sunlight. This violet is loved above all others, as it was passed along to me by my mother. When family members are no longer with us, their memory is triggered by the smallest things...and that is a very good thing indeed.

" Papilio dardanus, the African Swallowtail, Mocker Swallowtail or Flying Handkerchief, is a species of butterfly in the family Papilionidae (the swallowtails)...The species is broadly distributed throughout Sub-Saharan Africa...The British entomologist E. B. Poulton described it as "the most interesting butterfly in the world"..." ( Wiki )

a small non-aquatic kingfisher found in woodland, bushed savanna and coastal forests. I had seen it a few times over the years but this was the first time I was able to photograph it.
This bird was looking for prey in the grass below its perch.
They eat spiders, grasshoppers and many other types of insects but will also take small lizards and frogs.

We are officially experiencing a heat wave with daily temperatures ranging from 32-39c (89-102f) and it is no wonder that the leopard couldn't stop yawning.
