Wonderful pictures, Jas! So glad your horse behaved at the sight of the egg lady. I'm particularly taken with the nyala. Will know what one is next time I meet one in a crossword!

Thanks for sharing

He should be back at Cambridge at the end of Jan.  I'll come visit in July after conference.

I'm glad you all enjoyed to see a bit of our wildlife.  Conservation is a top priority in Swaziland, we need more of this attitude in the rest of Africa.

That's why the pic is from afar.  At least this one was alone, worse when you come accross a herd.

But the Buffalo is the most dangerous.  When wounded it will hunt the hunter down with fatal consequences for the hunter!
