At the time of writing this note, there were just over 3 months left until the end of 2023 and even less time to Christmas. Time is something that we should not waste as it can never be taken back – “time waits for no man”. If there is something that you have been wanting to do, then do it – don’t wait. Don’t put something off and say, “I will do it later or even tomorrow” – do it now.
Go and visit that friend or family member, go to that national park, go fishing, have that meal you’ve been dreaming about or take yourself off for a luxurious spa treatment – Go on, you will thank yourself later!
Enjoy this issue.

About Jean-Pierre
I have been in the industry since 1995 and I started my career as a receptionist in a lodge in the Waterberg mountains in South Africa. I worked my way up the ladder to become a lodge manager of a small tented camp. About 5 years ago I decided to take up photography as a hobby as I was spending so much time with guests on safari. I realised just how much I love animals and I wanted to spend more time with them. I started to study the behaviour of the different animals and tried to predict their movements. Having a hobby like wildlife photography puts me in an amazing position – I get to spend my time doing what I am passionate about – I feel extremely blessed!

DID YOU KNOW?
The rock kestrel (Falco rupicolus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It was previously considered a subspecies of
the common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus). A slender, medium-sized kestrel, between 30 and 33 centimeters tall. Adult male’s weigh between 183g and 254g, while the
females weigh between 190g and 280g. Rock kestrels feed on a wide variety of organisms. They eat primarily invertebrates, but have been known to consume rodents,
reptiles and birds. Two primary forms of hunting are employed: hover hunting and perch hunting. The rock kestrel is common in many protected areas, and as a result is
not threatened.
Congratulation!
