This month has been focussed a lot around the launch of our Botswana travel packages and it is for this reason that I have opted to share two of my favourite images taken on the trip to the delta last month.
These two free desktop wallpapers offer a tiny glimpse of the incredible natural beauty that Botswana’s Okavango delta has to offer!
The month of February is dedicated to exploring Botswana and this is the second in a series of two posts where I share experiences and images from my recent trip with you.

This diary entry focusses on some of the road conditions the lads are experinecing as they move north through Zambia.
The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) and 10 other Non-governmental Organisations, led by the Centre for Environmental Rights, have proposed a list of areas of critical environmental value, where mining and prospecting should be prohibited. The proposal is a formal application by non-government and civil society organisations to the Minister of Mineral Resources to exercise her discretion under Section 49 of the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (MPRDA), having regard to the national interest and the need to promote the sustainable development of the nation’s mineral resources, to prohibit or restrict granting reconnaissance, prospecting and mining rights and permits.

Last week I was fortunate enough to head up North into Botswana for a week to view some of the Wilderness Safaris properties that I will be using in our Botswana Packages. In order to celebrate the addition of these magnificent packages to our portfolio, the month of February will be focussed on a variety of travel related aspects in Botswana.
This is the first in a series of two posts where I will relive this magical experience and share some of my thoughts and images from the trip with you.
Happy New Year!
2011 will see Moya Wa Tenga Safaris stepping things up a gear in order to offer only the best bespoke private guided safaris and photographic safaris in southern Africa. Check out the full post for more details on the exciting developments in store!
At the close of an eventful 201, we gratefully pause to wish you and your families a warm and happy holiday season. We look forward to bringing you even more travel packages, special deals and conservation news in the new year!
The fight to save the Mapungubwe region from the detrimental impact of coal mining has been strengthened this week, with the rights of future generations of South Africans to experience the region’s cultural and natural splendour forming the basis of an expanded legal battle.
The CCL argues that the right to preservation of the environment is inextricably linked with children’s rights to cultural identity, the protection and preservation of African culture and respect for the natural environment; both in international and regional law.
What better way to enjoy the South African summer than to visit these spectacular destinations at special rates!
From a boutique hotel in Knysna, to the Mkuze Falls Private Game Reserve, the magical Welgeveonden Game Reserve and the quiet town of Dullstroom, we’ve got you covered with these fantastic special offers!
Wow, what a year! 2010 has honestly been one of the best years of my life. Witnessing the World Cup in my home country, getting engaged, meeting so many incredible people from all over the world, fantastic wildlife sightings and so many wonderful collaborations and partnerships being secured along the way.
This final edition of the FREE Wildlife Desktop Backgrounds for 2010 brings you two fantastic images, one of a lightning strike in Pilanesberg National Park, and the other of a Wild Dog in the Madikwe Game Reserve. Enjoy!
This is the second in our new monthly feature of wildlife videos. Lions are featured again this month, with footage of two majestic males roaring in the Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa.
The Lions’ repertoire of vocalisations is large and varies in intensity and pitch. Lions tend to roar in a very characteristic manner, starting with a few deep, long roars that trail off into a series of shorter ones and this is beautifully captured in this short piece of footage.
Last week I had the privilege of guiding at a fantastic lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve.
Our sightings, both out on drive and in front of the lodge, were phenomenal.
This is just a quick post with some images taken during the four days I was up in the reserve and includes some shots from a really interesting lion sighting!
Tucked away between miles of untamed bushveld lies an oasis of lush green lawn, flowing water and all the luxuries of a private and gracious lifestyle. Built on the banks of the Sabie River, Kruger Park Lodge offers guests luxury accommodation ten minutes drive from the Phabeni Gate into the Kruger National Park.
A luxurious 6 sleeper unit is up for rent in the much sought after Kruger Park Lodge from the 29th of December 2010 – 5 January 2011. This is the ideal spot to usher in the new year, and at a fantastic rate of R 1 750.00 per night, this week is sure to be snapped up quickly!
Wow, yet another month of 2010 has flown by and its time for some fresh desktop backgrounds for your Mac and PC!
Both of this months images, of a colourful dragonfly and a family of Egyptian Geese, were taken during recent day trips to the Pilanesberg National Park. The images are available in 1280 x 800 and 2560 x 1600 formats for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
Of the 9 856 bird species on Earth, 1 226 are listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable. Forty of these occur in South Africa and of these 20 are endemic. Although extinction is a natural phenomenon, species are now disappearing from our planet at an alarming rate, and studies have shown that this is mostly driven by human activities.
In South Africa, a number of birds are listed on the IUCN Red List, with several heading for extinction should some of the threats continue and should the NGOs who are implementing conservation action halt their important work.
The skies above Johannesburg this morning are dominated by a magnificent halo which has formed around the sun. Halos are also known as a nimbus, icebow or Gloriole, are optical phenomena produced by ice crystals creating colored or white arcs and spots in the sky.
Many are near the sun or moon but others are elsewhere and even in the opposite part of the sky. They can also form around artificial lights in very cold weather when ice crystals called diamond dust are floating in the nearby air.
The following footage was taken by top class field guide, Craig Catton in the Madikwe Game Reserve.
After following the pride of 14 lions for two days Craig and his guests were finally rewarded with what can only be described as an incredible sighting. The entire pride proceeded to fight over a male Impala which they had caught in thick bush. As the footage clearly shows, there was a lot of competition for the meal!
South Africa’s freshwater systems are in poor condition with 82% of main river ecosystems threatened, and institutional arrangements compound the problem. While the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) is the national department responsible for the management of water resources, the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) is mandated to manage and conserve biodiversity.
Environmental education and awareness for all water users needs to be a vital component of government’s plan for the future of water resources in this country.
The Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) third edition of Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO-3) indicates that the world’s marine ecosystems are in peril. Along southern Africa’s east coast, the Dugong is one marine mammal in urgent need of protection.
If we do not act quickly to alleviate pressures on our marine environment, there will be serious impacts on economies and livelihoods worldwide.
Aimed at beginner and intermediate photographers and users of both compact and DSLR cameras, this full day workshop will help you to dramatically improve your images in just one day.
The workshop has been designed around the most common questions people ask about digital photography. What is aperture? How can I improve my images? Why is the rule of thirds important? Why not? What do I do once my image is in on my computer?
Space is limited to ten people in order to ensure that each delegate receives personalised attention. Secure your spot now!
Travellers to safari lodges will soon realise that there is more to experience than merely observing the local wildlife. There is a saying at game lodges “Guests go on game drive, and when they’re not on game drive, they are eating”. Food is served from the moment you open your eyes until you feel too full to breathe!
This guest post will shed some light on what you can expect whilst dining out in some of South africa’s luxury safari lodges.
