If you want to see the wonders of the world, you have to get out of your comfort zone. Our excuse often is ‚I don‘t have the time‘ or ‚I don‘t have the money‘. Whatever. It comes down to ‚I can‘t‘. In truth it‘s almost always ‚I don‘t have the coura…

In the wilderness, magic starts to happen, when you take a break and sit completely still for a few minutes. Like this family of ground squirrels that started feeling well in my presence and started to feed on this bush. Thank you squirrels 😊 Oh an…

Pied crows in love 🫶 #piedcrow #namibia #wildlife #myglobetrottermoment #safari

Klippschliefer sind verwandt mit Elefanten. Nach heutigem Stand der Wissenschaft sind sie zwar nicht so eng mit den Elefanten verwandt wie bisher angenommen, gehören aber immerhin ins Taxon «Paenungulata», zusammen mit Rüsseltieren und Seekühen. ___…

Der laut IUCN stark gefährdete Sekretär sieht immer wahnsinnig beschäftigt aus. Er kann zwar fliegen, geht aber lieber zu Fuss – etwa 20 bis 30 km pro Tag. Seine Lieblingsspeise sind Schlangen 🤤⁠ ___⁠ The endangered Secretarybird always looks so bu…

Es gibt vier Arten von Zebras in Afrika. In Namibia leben zwei davon: Das Hartmann’s Zebra und das Burchell’s Zebra. Das Burchell’s Zebra wird auch Steppenzebra genannt und ist etwas kleiner als das Harmann’s Zebra, das sich lieber in den Bergen auf…

❤️ Khaudum Sunset ❤️ Das Gefühl ist einfach magisch, wenn du in der Wildnis sitzt, keine Zivilisation in Sicht ist und die Sonne untergeht. Du fühlst dich plötzlich so klein und doch als Teil von allem. Ich bin unendlich dankbar, das erlebt zu haben…

Leoparden sind bekannt dafür, auf Bäume zu klettern. Die meiste Zeit verbringen sie aber auf dem Boden – am liebsten an einem schattigen Plätzchen. ___ Leopards are know for climbing trees, but they spend most of their day on the ground – preferably…

My picture ‚Rhinos on honeymoon‘ won a prize in the photo competition in the @globetrottermagazin – thank you very much! 🥳 And this is what makes it a bit more than just a snapshot: A white rhino female only mates every 2,5 to 3 years. The mating r…

In 2022 there is around 117‘000 giraffes in Africa. That’s more animals than were counted in the past – but that‘s only due to more precise counting methods. So giraffes remain on IUCN’s list of vulnerable species. Photo taken in RAW using Lightroom…

It is amazing how these gentle giants can hide! We were lucky to see many elephants at the amazing Khaudom Nationalpark. Actually, the spelling of this park is one of the biggest mysteries on this Earth. I‘ve seen Khaudom, Kaudom and Kaudum – even w…

Another endangered species: Cheetahs. According to Wikipedia, there are still 2500 of these big cats living in Namibia. For the record: No, I did not pet them. And no, I would not have, even if my travel mates wouldn‘t have tied me to my seat the mo…

Cape vultures next to the first elephant we saw in Namibia. Actually we smelled it first before we saw it 🥺 But back to the Cape vultures: They lay one egg a year and are listed as an endangered species. We discovered them at Kaudom national park…

We‘re being watched! By a black rhino. Namibia is an amazing country and seeing these wild animals in free nature is beyond compare. I wonder how many I wasn‘t aware of were actually watching us? #blackrhino #namibia #naturelovers #safari
