Wish you a great day!
The game lodge looks nice but the surroundings are are wonderful.
You took some really nice pictures, thanks for sharing.
Wonderful shots!
Such wonderful shots. And how gorgeous is that giraffe??!! South Africa is gorgeous through your eyes. I've only experienced West Africa so far but hope to visit South Africa in the next two years.
I'm following you now and can't wait to see more of your work.
What wonderful captures, Gena! I really enjoyed them all and look forward to more! Hope your new year is off to a great start!

Sure looks like God's country! Great photos - love the giraffe!!!
Great shots of a beautiful place.
The BBQ area looks like an inviting place to sit and enjoy the view, especially when it includes giraffes. I look forward to seeing them when in SA in March.
Beautiful pictures!
Great shots, superb colors; almost felt the breeze from those wide landscapes filling my lungs.
I really miss South Africa!
These photographs are absolutely magnificent. I can't get over the colors and how beautiful Africa is. And the giraffe! That is probably my favorite wild animal. He is amazing! I can't even think of what it would be like to see him in his natural habitat like that. Just amazing.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday to you...

WoW, what a cool place to visit.:-)
Great place, I like the palisade around to keep out wild animals, plus give you a great viewing platform to see Giraffe etc, and I would love to have a barbecue there.
Beautiful captures!
Happy Outdoor
Cheers and regards.
