ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Since 1995 Mario & Jenny Fazekas have spent nearly 700 days on self-drive and guided safaris in African National

Parks in southern & east Africa. Much of that time has been spent in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

Many of their photographs have been published and they have won a

number of photographic competitions.

Their website, Kruger-2-Kalahari.com, is one of the web's main sources of

information on nature photography and Southern African safaris, which

was started in 2008 so that they could share their passion with others.

Edward Peach has been photographing nature since 2002 and during

that time he spent nearly eighteen months in the Pilanesberg National Park

as a Field Guide for Ivory Tree Lodge.

Elliott Erwitt, the legendary photographer who celebrated his 83rd birthday

in 2012, has had the most influence on Edward’s photographic style. When

Edward is driving around the national parks he always has Elliott’s quote in

the back of his mind:

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding

something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to

do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see

them”.

Edward’s goal is to capture and then share some of the amazing wildlife

sights that he is privileged to see in the various national parks.

INTRODUCTION

"Many people have spoken of a feeling of humility that accompanies the experience of seeing wild animals in a

natural unspoiled environment. How true this is! And how valuable is the sense of perspective that this gives -

when man is the visitor, not the keeper."

- Gary Player, the international golfing legend, writing about the Pilanesberg in 1989

Compared to most African parks the Pilanesberg is a baby - both in terms of size and length of existence. The park was

established in 1979 and covers an area of just 500 square kilometers, but that's where the 'baby' ends!

The park is a big-five reserve (it has lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) and it also has cheetah and wild dogs

(making up Africa's 'super seven'). Pilanesberg has over 350 bird species, 65 reptile species and about 132 species of

trees, making it an ideal wildlife photography destination. There are also plans underway to join Pilanesberg with

Madikwe, creating a new super-park but that is a long-term project.

The park is malaria-free and is just a 2-hour drive from Johannesburg making it easily accessible to photographers who

do not have much time to spare.

This book is intended to assist photographers of all levels to find and successfully photograph Pilanesberg’s flora and

fauna. If you are a first-time visitor to the park this guide will help you find interesting subjects, suggest best times of the

year or day to photograph them and we also suggest the best photographic gear to help you get great shots.

If you are a seasoned Pilanesberg visitor this guide may help you discover places or techniques that you were unaware

of.

A few years back we were sitting at Mankwe Hide with a friend of ours and a photographer (who had only the biggest and

best photo gear), enters the hide and sets up his 600mm f4 lens and proceeds to start shooting the birds sitting on a dead

http://www.kruger-2-kalahari.com/big-five.html

http://www.kruger-2-kalahari.com/africas-super-seven.html


tree in front of the hide. In the mornings, the sun rises in front of the hide so unless you want silhouettes you should be

shooting out the back of the hide. Our friend could see from the photographer’s LCD screen that his photos were dark and

had no detail, so he asked the guy a few questions, one of which was “are you shooting in raw?”, to which the answer

was “what’s raw?” and so the story goes on!

Successful wildlife photography is not about having the most expensive gear – you need to understand light, know how to

use your gear and have a basic knowledge of animal behaviour.

This incident and a few others since then, of people asking us for advice and help at the hides and waterholes, convinced

us that a book like this was necessary.

How to Use this Book

This guide book provides information that the authors have accumulated over many years and makes suggestions, based

on those experiences, of what animals could be found where but there are no guarantees. If you take a travel guide for

the city of Paris, the map will show you various points of interest such as the Eiffel Tower and when you get to the spot,

the tower is guaranteed to be there. The variable, however, will be the weather and people – it may be sunny, overcast or

raining and there may be no people or many people, so you will have to adapt your photographic style to the situation.

Just like the tourist guide books, this guide book shows you exactly where the waterholes and other points of interest are

but the variables are the animals and the weather. So when using this guide you need to have the right expectations and

realise that the formula for success is to combine this guidebook with other sources of information such as the sighting

books / sighting consoles at the camp receptions, chat to your neighbours / camp staff and drive slowly while scanning –

this combination should provide you with a very good chance of spotting the specific animal you are looking for.

As a wildlife photographer, you should therefore be ‘light’ or ‘situation’ driven, and not ‘subject-driven’. In other words

you should be seeking out good light opportunities and then look for a subject in those excellent lighting situations. If you

find an exciting photo subject (like a leopard) at midday or hidden in bushes, the resulting photo will not be pleasing, but

an ordinary subject, like a zebra in early morning or late afternoon light will make a very pleasing photograph.


On our one trip we were looking for leopards and so we entered the park at Bakubung gate and were driving around ‘red

rocks’ (the Red Syenite rocks on the corner of Kubu Drive and Mankwe Way) and were on our way to Thlware Drive,

which is also a leopard hot-spot when we saw a heard of zebras on the plains to the right of Mankwe Way. The lighting

was good and the zebras were interacting with each other so we decided to stay with them. We ended up sitting with them

for about 90-minutes while they chased each other, mounted each other and bit their ‘sparring partners’! We didn’t get to

photograph leopards that day but we got some great zebra action shots!

Situation (zebras interacting in good light) takes precedence over subject (potential leopard).


The Pilanesberg is

circular in shape so we

have divided the park

into four areas as per

a compass: NE (1), SE

(2), SW (3) and NW

(4).

The guidebook

therefore has four

main chapters each

relating to these four

areas of the park. The

extent of this book has

been limited to normal

tourist roads and the

lodges and hides

within the park.


Each chapter begins with a map of the area showing the locations that we discuss in the

text. We focus on the waterholes, drives, lodges and hides that have enabled us to get our

best nature photographs year after year. The index on the right will assist you in

identifying elements on each map such as the hides, dead trees, vehicle positions

and so forth.

We have included the EXIF data ('Exchangeable Image File’, data which includes camera,

lens, ISO, shutter speed & f-stop) for all photographs. Either it will appear in italics next to

the photo or when you place your cursor over the photograph an EXIF box will pop up so

that you know how we took the photograph.

Throughout the book, we have 'photographic lessons' relating to each area that will help

you improve your chances of finding subjects and then getting 'that shot'.

If you want to find all information on a certain camp or topic please use the TOC (Table Of

Contents) or, better yet, use the search function at the top of the page - simply type the

word you want to locate, for example 'polarizer' or 'polarizing' in the 'Find' box and keep

clicking 'find next' and it will find all the locations of that word in the document.

The whole idea of this book is to enable you to make the best use of your limited time when visiting Pilanesberg so that

you not only can find the animals but are able to take good photographs of them as well.

Photographic Equipment

You don't need any special gear to photograph by day in the Pilanesberg. We recommend a digital SLR camera with

interchangeable lenses but a point and shoot can also work well. Keep in mind that light, technique and creativity are

more important than what brand or model of camera you use.

For nocturnal photography, you will need some accessories but we will discuss these in detail later on in the book.

For wildlife, you will need at least a 300mm lens. Some waterholes are close while others are further away, so a 500mm

or 600mm lens will come in handy but a 400mm zoom lens should be adequate for most situations. A DSLR camera is

best but a Point & Shoot will suffice for the majority of opportunities - some camera is better than no camera!


A tripod is very necessary when shooting landscapes, birds or wildlife from the camps to ensure sharp photographs.

When shooting from your car we suggest using a beanbag or window mount. For macro and night photography, a flash is

required.

A polarizing filter is a handy filter to have for landscapes, rainbows and the dreaded midday shots! You also don't need a

dedicated macro lens as Jenny uses the Canon 77mm 500D close-up lens on her Nikon 80-400 VR lens for macro

photography.

Jenny shoots 99% of her photos with the Nikon 80-400mm VR lens and D300 body while Edward has a Nikon D800 with

200-400mm f4 VR II lens as his primary and a D90 with 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 lens as his backup. In addition he has a

Nikon 105mm f2.8 micro lens for

macros and a Sigma 10-20mm

f1:4-5.6 for landscapes.

Mario shoots with a variety of

Nikon cameras and lenses,

everything from a 10.5mm

fisheye lens to a 600mm f4

super-telephoto lens mounted on

a D3S body, a 200-400mm f4

lens on a D300 and an 18-

200mm on a D300S as backups.

More than 80% of the

photographs in this eBook were

captured at 400mm or less, so a

600mm lens is a ‘nice-to-have’

but not a necessity!


Making the Most of Your Pilanesberg Safari

There are over 400 000 visitors to Pilanesberg National Park each year and this can put a strain on the park and other

visitors.

If you use common sense and follow a few simple rules, you should have a most enjoyable time in the park. Here are

some guidelines to help you enjoy your safari more:

Don't Speed - there are many animals killed each year due to speeding game-viewing vehicles and cars. The

speed limit in the park is 40 kilometres per hour. Our suggestion is for you to travel at 20-30 km per hour, as you

will see much more at this speed!

When you do see something don’t get over-excited and just stop in the middle of the road as you will now be

blocking it for other visitors. We suggest you pull over to the side of the road that the animal is on - this means

that you will be as close as possible to the subject resulting in better photographs and also ensures that other

vehicles cannot park in front of you or drive past you while you are photographing.

Remember the sun – try to position yourself with your back to the sun even if the animal is facing away from you.

In most cases, the subject will probably turn around and then you will be able to capture the animal in great light.

Try and predict what the animal might do and get in position early before anyone else – lions in particular will

often get fed up with lots of vehicles and walk to shade or water. Anticipate where they might go and what they

might do in order to be in the best position possible.

Try to work out the best photographic position when you get to a sighting and stay there. Too often, people

manoeuvring their vehicles can disturb the subject and the subject then moves away for peace and quiet.

With elephants and rhino, leave yourself an exit point – just in case. Always plan "where you would go if ... " and

remember it is easier to drive forward in an emergency than reverse, so getting ahead of your subject and shooting

backwards, or even sideways, is preferable – plus you get shots of the subjects face!

Animals act strangely for a reason – if herbivores are all staring in one direction then there is usually a carnivore in

the area – just follow their gaze.

Use all your senses not just your eyes – sounds and smells can lead you to a sighting so drive with your windows

down regardless of the heat. Also look up – vultures can sometimes pinpoint a kill.


When you are in the Pilanesberg rest camps please do not forget to speak to other people and to read the

sighting books or sighting terminals in each reception area, as these are two valuable sources of information as

to where the wildlife is. Remember, you cannot photograph the animals if you cannot find them!

Do not feed or harass the animals. We know of two incidents where visitors got out their vehicles to get closer to

elephants and where they threw stones at sleeping lions. These animals are dangerous!

Be courteous to other visitors. If you see another vehicle that is photographing an animal don't speed past or

rush into the waterhole in a cloud of dust with gravel shooting up from your tires, as this may scare the animal away

and ruin the moment for the people who are already there. Drive in slowly and then turn off your engine – there is

nothing worse than sitting at a fabulous sighting accompanied by the persistent drone of a diesel engine.

Many visitors stop at guided game viewing vehicles and ask the guide “Where are the lions?” There is no ‘good morning’ before the request hence many guides ignore the person or lie to them! Be polite and how about first sharing one of your sightings with the guides instead of always just asking (give in order to receive)?

Don’t follow the guide’s vehicle in the hope that they will lead you to the lions. If you do this you may get to see a predator but more often than not you will get frustrated as the guides stop for trees, reptiles and other ‘uninteresting’ subjects (for the ‘lions-only’ visitors) and you will get annoyed!

Traveling tips for your Pilanesberg trip

The journey to Pilanesberg can be a very pleasant trip no matter which direction you are coming from.

We depart from Johannesburg, which is a 150-kilometer trip, but even though Pilanesberg is so close we still leave very

early in the morning, firstly to beat the traffic and secondly to get to the gates as they open because we want to make the

most of the golden-hour when the sun has just risen. We leave home around 4am depending on the season because the

gates open at different times during summer and winter.

On the return trip back home from the Pilanesberg our advice it to leave the park before the mob, which is before 11am,

as many people leave after lunch thereby making the roads very busy.


SECTION 1 - NE PILANESBERG


Ivory Tree Lodge

Highlights: This lovely thatched five-star lodge is tucked neatly at the base of two hills forming a horseshoe (U-shape)

that is surrounded by Tamboti woodlands and hills. The lodge is situated on the north east side of the Pilanesberg

National Park and it shares the main gate into the park with Bakgatla Resort.

The central Lodge area includes, a stunning pool with a rock feature and waterfall, bar, lounge with large fire-place and


restaurant – these all look out onto the swimming pool and surrounding hills. The lodge is fenced so it is safe to walk

around at night and the 60 thatched chalets are all designed so that they are either looking into the park or have a view of

the hills making game spotting easier. Photographing the sunrise from the lodge can be tricky; I would say its best from

the left side of the ‘U’. We had a fairly good view of the sunrise from unit 60 which is right at the top of the complex on the

end of the left side of the ‘U’. Sunset is not an option, because the sun goes behind the hills long before it actually sets.

You may get the colour in the sky after the sun has set with the hills as silhouettes which may make a good landscape

photograph.

If you cannot get a

sunrise or sunset then

make the most of the

current weather – look

for the moon rising,

shoot star-trails or if it’s

storming then shoot

the lightning.


In and Around Ivory Tree Lodge

If you are staying at Ivory Tree and don't feel like going out for a drive, take a walk around the camp, there are many

photographic opportunities for you. This is a great Lodge to get macro photographs and Edward has found many small

mammals, insects and reptiles to photograph. There are many insects and birds by day plus owls and nightjars by night

that you can photograph - a pair of barn owls has made their home in the front entrance of reception - they do move from

time to time, but stay put when they have their young and this would be great to get photographs of the chicks.


Waterhole: There is a small water trough that attracts

the animals into the U, but it is not easy to see animals

drinking because the trough is in a small ditch. You

will, however, be able to see the animals as they walk

around the top of the ditch. We saw kudu; warthogs

and elephant at the waterhole and wild dogs are also

seen around the lodge as they have a den in the hill

behind the kudus. They have made kills against the

fence, so if you are lucky enough to be staying there

when this happens you may get some really good

photographs of the chase or even the kill.

Walks: We went on an afternoon walking safari up the hills in front of the lodge; it took us two hours to climb up the one

side but what a great walk as we were rewarded with a fantastic view over the lodge and the Pilanesberg plains below - it

felt like we were on top of the world.

Then we had an even more exciting

experience - as we reached the top

we came across 5 Wild dogs denning

in the rocky outcrop just to the left of

the Lodge. They surrounded us and

barked and growled, trying to draw us

away from the den but then settled

down about 30 meters from us and

lay in the grass. I wished we had

more time to sit with them but sadly

we had to start our decent back to the

Lodge before nightfall.


The beauty about going on a walking safari is that you are able to get close to predators and other exciting animals but

you also get to photograph plants, insects and other subjects you may not even see while driving around.


Makorwane Hide

Highlights: This hide faces north, so the lighting is not great unless you are there early morning or late afternoon. The

hide has been rebuilt because it burnt down due to veld fires. The area around the hide is very scenic with vast open

plains in front and a mountain backdrop.

There are some dead trees to the left and right of the hide in the water, which birds use as perches and if you get there

early, during winter, you could find mist coming off the water, which can create a great mood shot with the dead trees in

the water and the mist lifting. There is a dam wall to the right of the hide where baboons can be seen sitting.


Parking your vehicle/positioning yourself: The road on either side of the hide has a few loops where you can park

your vehicle at different angles to get better lighting (P1 and P2). The road leading up to the hide from the west is

especially lovely as you cross over a small bridge (P3) and there is a small loop just after the bridge (P4). From the bridge

you can see the hide and the stream leading into the dam but the lighting is best in the afternoon when the sun is behind

you. At the hide you will park your vehicle in the fenced area and walk to the hide through a small gate. Please remember

these parking areas at the hides are only partly fenced, so keep your eyes and ears open for wild animals when leaving

your vehicle – remember the leopard that was seen in the parking area on the Shepherd’s Tree Lodge game drive!


Key Species:

Predators: We have seen lion lying

just to the right of the hide, on the

dam wall and on the open plain

between this dam and Tlou dams.

Edward got a lion chase in perfect

lighting from the hide! The lioness

chased the waterbuck along the

opposite shore in a straight line. The

Waterbuck got away, but Edward

captured some great photographs of

the whole chase.

Herbivores: there are the resident

hippos, waterbuck, zebra,

wildebeest, impala and springbok.

Rhino also come down to drink here

and can often be seen on the open

plains in front of the hide.

Birds: We have seen the usual water birds; White-breasted Cormorants, Three-banded Plovers, Pied Kingfishers and

sometimes a pair of Fish eagles can be seen sitting on the dead tree in the dam. The Darter will also keep you entertained

as it swims with only its neck sticking out of the water, looking more like a snake than a bird.

with the knowledge gained from this eBook, your experiences and photographs will be much more memorable."

-Alastair Stewart (B C, Canada)

“The Photographer’s guide to the Pilanesberg National Park is so much more than a book, because it’s also a

guide, a tutorial, an inspiration and a must-have for anyone interested in wildlife photography. It is an intimate

look at what it takes to produce a thought provoking, memorable image.” - Findtripinfo.com (USA)

"I have looked for books, on-shelf and on the internet, to give me the information I need for wildlife

photography in order to prepare and gear up and know what to look out for and for park information. Most

books showcase the photographer’s work but the ‘how-to’ information to get to that level is limited.

Photographer's Guide to the Pilanesberg National Park is the BEST book and source of information BY FAR!"
