Giraffes running and playing around is not a sight you see every day. Amazing as the young bulls chase the females around the tower of giraffe. They wanted to drink put the boys and the heard of elephants did not want to let them, maybe next time. Also in the mix is an elderly bull and the tower did not want to wait for him.

When water levels get low Hippos can step on each other toes and normally this end in a fight or a chase and sometimes to the death of the opponent. Hippos are very territorial especially when it comes to females and younger bulls trying their luck in the pod. Vide by: www.privatekrugersafaris.co.za

While on Safari in the Kruger National Park, close to Skukuza we were looking for a leopard next to the Sabie River and then suddenly to the right of us in the bushes herd some elephants approaching. Rather than to move away we just backed up a bit and waited in silence as they came closer and was aware of them and did not want to startle them as we could saw the babies in the breeding herd. Our guest and us whatched them crossing close to us remember this video was taken with a mobile phone some it was actually much closer than it looks. They passed and gave us an eagle eye at towards the end but luckily they were calm and the guide was prepared for any movement from the herd in our direction. Amazing experience to have these giants walk so close and silent next to us. Kruger magic at it best. Filmed by Bernhard Bekker. Book your drive online today from www.pksafaris.com

One morning early we had this amazing encounter with a pride of lion close to Renosterkoppies we hear them raw from down the road and then as we got closer to the sound the female darted into the road and the male followed her and they mated in the open. The male lion then proclaimed his territory with a very load raw and the female joined in. This was truly an awesome experience both for me Bernhard Bekker my Brother Hennie Bekker and our private wildlife photography clients. One of my truly great moments in the African bush.
