Nature at night

In Africa, it would be a huge mistake to return to your lodge at sundown.  There is so much more to see after dark.  Here in Greater Kruger, at Elephant Plains and Kitara, and in the South Luangwa valley, Zambia, are a host of nocturnal and cathemeral (active during the day and night) creatures.  Photographing animals in the dark with only a lamp for lighting can be tricky but here are my best efforts – African wild cat, water thicknee, Sharp’s grysbok, scrub hare, little green bee-eaters sleeping, lion and lion cub, leopard, hyena, honey badger, genet, flap-necked chameleon, fiery-necked nightjar and elephant.
