Shaws Gate | Life In The Iconic Bush

About me

Posted on January 3, 2018 by Kgomotso Matthews

I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it’s proactive and there is positive intent behind it. Michael J. Fox

Call to action! When you are next in any of the three, iconic landscapes, please support local businesses by purchasing your goods and services from them. A directory of local businesses and nearest gate into the Sabi Sand Game Reserve http://www.sabisand.co.za can be found at http://www.pedproject.co.za

My work as a local economic development practitioner is very interesting and allows me to connect local businesses to opportunities offered by local markets. I am passionate about the well being of my family, I love the iconic landscapes in three of South Africa’s hot biodiversity spots, good food, beautiful things, positiveness and possibilities offered by longevity.

The images I share with you today, have been taken at different times of the day and show the beautiful interruptions to my expected, clear, direct, visions, when I look up to the skies in the iconic bush.

At dusk (about 6h30 in the evening), when I arrived at my camp, I captured these images of trees against a blue hue provided by the evening skies in the iconic bush. The images of trees just a few steps from my tent.

Tree meets tree in the skies

The patterns they make are just nature incredible in the iconic bush.

Magic tree patterns, when you look up the skies

Yet again, at Justicia village, the two images are tough to ignore:

Look at Justicia through the trees

Further on, as I drive through the villages, during the day, in the village of Lephong, the trees looked like this:

Rare sights, in the night

Ahhhhh! the rewards of being in the iconic bush! Rare sightings! From my tent, I could hear this big male lion roaring from miles away. Finally, I got a night glimpse at his royal highness, with a night game range driver in pursuit. From my tent, it looked like this:
