Just another banded-legged golden orb web spider with a caterpillar in the background and a tiny, dominated male above it. Big, not harmful, wonderfully huge webs and clearly a vibrant golden colour. Insects and arachnids rock.
An African fish-eagle takes time out from eating a freshly caught fish to seemingly stare at the anthropomorphic shapes construed around it in the dried trees.
Not my best Milky Way shot, but one which illustrates how much you can see by staying in a smallish camp and a boundary location toward the edge of the camp. We stayed in two LS tents, and jumping down from the stoep in the clearing below, you don't even need to give it your statutory 20 minutes for your eyes to adjust. Stars pierce, shapes emerge, galaxies awaken. Wait around and it gets better, but I'd say this comes close to that first 'out of the forest' moment.
