From the photographer:
The moon rise was about an hour later after this male arrived. If he had come later the moon would have added too much light to show off the stars

HOT COALS..... This African white-backed vulture looks like it is walking over hot coals as it makes its way across the backs of other vultures in the committee to get to the food scraps in Zimanga Private Reserve, South Africa.

Inter-species encounter - of the peaceful kind...
"A little buffalo-calf, covered in mud, looks like a lost soul as it encounters an inquisitive rhino. The calf had fallen asleep in the mud before getting separated from the herd in the Zimanga Private Game Reserve, South Africa,"

Showdown at dusk. These two young cheetahs are seen in a midair tussle in front of the setting sun. The sibling rivalry and playfighting took place on the Zimanga Game Reserve located in Kwazulu-natal, South Africa.

These were taken in Zimanga Private Game Reserve in South Africa. They have a number of different hides including two where you stay overnight (as in this photo). Google them for details of what they offer now – I haven’t been back for more than 5 years. Other places offer low angle hides, too.

Nine years ago I visited Zimanga, in South Africa, as part of a longer scouting trip. Even though hide photography isn't my favorite activity, I came away with a number of interesting photos. This year, I'll finally be returning to Zimanga with a group, and look forward to seeing who comes to visit.

This was photographed from a hide; not a "hiding place" but a buried construction designed for photographers at eye level with watering holes. They are quite common at safari reserves. This one looks like Zimanga, which operates a hide with an overnight experience. He wasn't hiding in the bush!
