Good Morning World @RhinoandLionSA #SouthAfrica #Wildlife #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends, 

All the photos are taken by Aashish Rai using Nikon D7000 at Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve in Johannesburg, South Africa. Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve is a private park where you can buy the tickets and enter with your own car and roam around in the restricted jungle area where wildlife is roaming free whereas you will be inside the car. There are different enclosures for different kinds of carnivorous animals so that they don't kill the other animals and are fed by the authorities every alternate day in the case of Lions, Cheetah, Leopards, and Wild Dogs. It's so easy to find the animals during lunchtime and if you are on the day of wildlife serving day you are definitely going for a feast for your eyes. If your windows are open then it's dangerous as wild animals are really wild but these photos are from the animal creche where small cubs are kept and earlier you could take photos with them but now it's no longer the case.

I was really working on getting some of the online training and taking my technology quotient in level with the latest in the world of the software industry. It was really a great experience of learning new skills or at least adapt to the key terminologies used in the new world.

Walking in the jungle is like learning with each step on the way

I am trying to find my own creative space after all this is over and we go back to the work environment. I want to see the change in myself in all the ways possible with an open mind to learn, experiment, and adapt to the latest technologies and an eagerness to work on them too.

With each step in the jungle, I will gain confidence

Indeed with each step taken in the corporate jungle, my confidence will be challenged and as I cross those boundaries, I will learn and earn more respect and money. Let's start the journey!

Sawubona!

Cheetah Walking in @SANParksKNP @SANParks #SA #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends,

I am some of the lucky few who have seen the Cheetah hunting right in front of my eyes but I didn't get a clear shot of his try. I saw him running behind a springbok but without any success and it all happened in a few seconds as the speed of Cheetah needs no introduction. 

Also, I went to the park in a sedan that is not suitable for the Kruger National Park because of its height from the ground and it's always advisable to drive in an SUV and more in a 4x4 so that you can travel off-roads allowed by the SAN Parks authorities.

You will also observe that the animal merges into the backdrop of fallen trees and the color of the sand and it is so difficult to find them too. 

This sighting was also near the entrance gate of Lower Sabie Rest Camp which I thought that this is his area where he stays all the time as many people reported seeing the same Cheetah on the sighting board inside the camp. 

If you ever visit South Africa then Kruger National Park is a place without going to which your trip to the country will never be complete. 

I have fallen in love with this big cat - look at the color of the skin, the patches, the combination of brown and black, the marks on the face, the threatening eyes and the way it turns its tail to balance it on its sprint run when the animal is on hunting mode is totally amazing. I am so amused and I am sure so are you!

All these photos are taken using Nikon D7000 using the Sigma 70-300mm lens by Aashish Rai inside the Kruger National Park. I am sure you will bring better cameras with you with long telephoto zoom lenses to take much better photos of this amazing South African Wildlife and share it with the world just like me!

Sawubona!
