C4 Images and Safaris has just returned from another magnificent Photo tour. This two week tour through South Africa and Botswana was lead by professional photographer Villiers Steyn. Firstly we visited the ever popular Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana, from there we went to Olifants Camp in the Kruger National Park and ended in Sabi Sands... Enjoy some of the images taken on the tour. Text and images by Villiers Styen.
Mashatu
Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana’s Northern Tuli Game reserve was as reliable as ever, producing unforgettable sightings and photographic opportunities. Highlights included a breeding herd of approximately 70 elephants taking a mud bath, a pack of African wild dogs playing around the vehicle at sunset, six massive kudu bulls walking through the Majale River in front of us, and of course, a leopard on almost every drive! A few lucky ones were also able to get a head-photograph of the elusive aardwolf during the day as it stuck its head out of its den in the ground. Tent Camp’s bird bath was very quiet on the first day, but more than made up for it over the next two as we were able to photograph, amongst others, melba finch, blue waxbill, black-cheeked waxbill, lesser honeyguide, crested barbet and red-headed weaver.
Birding in the bush was equally productive and we were treated with excellent sightings of white-fronted bee-eaters, red-billed queleas and saddle-billed storks.
