Thank you. Shem

Thanks, Shem. I saw that leopard and porcupine image on the wall at Limpopo Airfield when we visited Mashatu. As we discovered, having excellent guides and drivers goes a long way towards achieving the desired shots. Recognising similar behaviours to domestic cats in 'big cats' is also useful in anticipating their actions!

HI Jean, The image has stood the test of time and elements fortunately. I do agree with you - the drivers at Mashatu are excellent in anticipating wildlife behaviour.

Brilliant stuff Shem. I was recently on a trip with Danielle and her/Victor the guide's knowledge about animal behaviour was key to getting some 5* shots. keep up the great work!

Danielle is always thinking one step ahead. Shem

Another great video Shem and the photos are outstanding, particularly the leopard and porcupine and the meerkats. It shows that 5 star photos don’t happen by chance!

[@C4PhotoSafaris]

Thanks Flemming. there are chance happenings in nature - as we know -its being mentally prepared for them that counts! Shem

[@stuartphotography1968]

Shem another enjoyable video, did I hear correct at the start you said G’day you have been everywhere man 🇦🇺 or you got that saying from our treasured local photographer Denis Glennon lol.. Keep them coming mate always learning from all the teams entertaining videos 👍 Kind regards from Stuart Perth Western Australia.

[@C4PhotoSafaris]

G'day Stuart! I did say good day, but alas, my African accent clipped it to G'day!

[@BrendanHarington]

Amazing video Shem. How on earth do you get so close to those Meerkats? 😮

[@C4PhotoSafaris]

Thanks Brendan. At a few locations in Africa the Meerkats are relaxed and so with time (lying on the ground), while they sun them selves on a cold morning, they come up to you. All these meerkats were/are free and wild, which makes it even more special.

@@C4PhotoSafaris wow, that’s amazing. They are usually pretty skittish. Lovely photos.
