National Animal of #SouthAfrica Springbok @RhinoandLionSA #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends,

Springbok is the National Animal of South Africa and also the name of the Rugby team of South Africa also known as The Boks or Die Bokke in Afrikaans. 

Springbok is the cutest animal and every time I see them I want to bring one home as a pet. The way they walk, their small tails, their cute face, lovely eyes and the body colors all attract me to this animal. 

The best part is their agility, speed and they can also jump high in the air from the still-standing pose. I have never been able to capture them in the air so far but I am trying my best to be at the moment when some Lion or Leopard is chasing them. 

Here the animal is in its natural setting, eating dry and wet grass and the backdrop is matching with the color of its skin and that was the reason I chose to present these photos to you. 

The way nature plays with the colors of the animals is amazing and beautifully crafted with light brown, dark brown and white colors. No wonder they are worthy of the title to be the National Animal of a country. 

Their horns are showcased in many hotels and restaurants here as decoration and even nightshades or lamps are made from them. You will find Springbok in all Nature Reserves throughout the country and here I have captured them at Lion & Rhino Nature Reserve, Johannesburg, South Africa using the Nikon D7000 Camera. 

Sawubona!!!

#TheLifesWayCaptures - @GlobalVillageAE #GlobalVillage #Dubai #PhotoReviews

Hi Friends, 

Global Village is one place in Dubai that has the lowest entrance fees for adults which are AED 15 and persons above 65 years of age go free. The place is full of different colors and attracts you a lot with its ever-changing lights. 

When we were returning from Dubai Safari we saw extremely great fireworks from far away on the road coming out from Global Village that happens only every Thursday and Friday. 

The place opens in the evening at 5pm and is open till 11-12am in the night. A lot of performances keep on happening in different parts of the village. It's called Global Village because they cover so many different cultures and countries with each having their unique area and shops. 

Iran has this unique stand with big size Persian soldiers, kings and queens. One of the most lovely stands for sure it is but keep your judgments far from your minds as you will see a lot of different other countries with amazing stands. 

There is a lot to do and I will say that you won't be able to cover the spot in a single day that's why Global Village has kept the entrance fees so less. They want you to come again and again during your stay in Dubai. Also with every ticket, you get entry into some kind of lucky draw or raffle to win big prizes like apartments or cash. 

The irony was India, in general, is so full of color with rich cultural heritage but the Global Village thought to put it in white color may be to showcase the number of forts or maybe taking inspiration from the Taj Mahal and keeping it white. 

The Global Village is an experience you will always remember and won't forget. Just eat the food along the way as the same food trucks are all around the park. It will be great if you start your food journey from the first country stall you visit.

Here is me tired of walking all around the village to see everything my eyes could but definitely a lot is pending as many countries stalls I could not even enter their establishments and enjoy their rich food culture. Follow me on Instagram for my entire journey in Dubai and other countries!!!

Namaste!!!

Photo Walk - Wild Safaris in South Africa

Hi Guys,

This is a new series of posts of all the wild jungles we have here in South Africa. It's a beautiful country with a lot of country side, a lot of forest/game reserves, jungle safaris, rivers, mountains, plains, trekking and adventure sports.

In this feature I will introduce you to a lot of animals which we can see in the forest reserves running here and there. I might not know their names but will post a guide too which contains their names.

 These pictures were taken using my ages old Panasonic FZ5Camera in a game reserve we went to for seeing elephants, lions, leopards etc but could not find any of the BIG 5 as they call them here.

All we could see was these Antelopes having morning walk around the jungle.

Cheers!!!
