A Rainbow over the Lebombo Mountains, a Road Block and two Freezing Cheetah!
As it happens during this time of the year strong winds frequently follow heavy rains. On our afternoon game drive we first encountered a beautiful rainbow over the Lebombo mountains, then we met with Thanda’s breeding herd of Elephants.
One of our largest bulls gave an excellent demonstration on “how to create a perfect road block”, right in front of the vehicle.
Last but not least Bheki – one of Thanda’s most experienced Zulu tracker – found the two Cheetah brothers on the open savannah. They were huddling together in the freezing wind.
Not a bad drive for a very windy day!

That’s a roadblock I hope to see when I go to Madikwe GR next week. 🙂 Your pictures are beautiful. I love the one with the ellies in front of the fever tree & the road ahead. Stunning thanks for sharing
That must have been one incredible drive. Seeing a beautiful rainbow, some elephants nice and close and then the cheetahs. I think a visit to Thanda would be good right now.
