Marakele National Park

A White Rhino calf and mother at the waterhole a few hundred meters from Bontle campsite in Marakele National Park in Limpopo.
An Aardvark searches for some termite mounds in the late afternoon near the Bontle campsite.
This Caracal didn't know which way to run, as he glanced back and forth at the two cars on either side of him, eventually he figured out that the bush would be the best idea and he disappeared.
This little Steenbok was very curious about us and the usually shy animal came right up to us.
The only thing separating the campsite and the bush.
A view from the top of the  mountain which can only be reached by driving up a thin mountain pass with a sheer drop on its one side and a cliff-face on the other.

Power and Pride

Francois "The Buffalo" Botha and Flo"Black Panther" Simba pose at a press conference before the Power and Pride Boxing tournament to be held at Emperors Palce in Gauteng on the 4th May.
I must admit, I'm looking forward to this fight, Francois looks tough, but he is a bit older, he has fought many of the best Heavyweight fighters in the world. Flo is a young and tough guy that likes to do his talking in the ring, I once saw him hit a guy so hard, that I was somewhat surprised when the guy got up, even if it was a few minutes later.

So, it's hard to call, but should be a brutal fight.
A bit of fireworks at the press conference when the fighters in one of the other fights almost got into it a bit early, Chris Van Heerden (left) and Bongani Mwelase left no-one in doubt, as to the contempt they have for each other, this welterweight fight promises to be a thriller as well.
