We were fortunate to walk with giraffes whilst in Africa and also to witness "necking" or "play fighting" between 2 males. It was fascinating to watch them bending and swaying and entwining their necks around each other.

This was taken in the middle of the day where you don't as a rule get to see much as the animals tend to rest out of the sun. We were very fortunate to come across these 2 juvenile elephants that were tussling and playing together. We had to reverse back several times as they headed our way.
TNP 07 Sunset at Thornhill Safari Lodge
Another wonderful sunset in Africa. This one was taken at Thornhill Safari Lodge which is situated within a private game park. just near Kruger. We stayed here for 4 nights and had an absolute ball. The managers Chris and Charmaine just couldn't do enough to help us with our photography. Chris even gave up a meeting that he was supposed to attend to take us to a place where we could photograph the sunset. Sue and I found that this private game park was WAY better than Kruger because with Kruger you have to stay on the main roads whereas in the private parks if the trackers see an animal they will take you bush to get close to it. I would highly recommend Thornhill to anyone who is thinking about going to Africa. www.thornhillsafarilodge.com/
I have to say that Thornybush Private Game Reserve on the edge of Kruger NP was a fabulous experience. FAR better than Kruger as we got to see so many more animals, went bush when the trackers thought they saw something worthwhile which was a LOT of fun and we even did a coupe of private safaris here.
the face only a mother could love :)
