I am a South African ex-pat based in Kuwait since 2006. It has been sometime since I was last home and when we do get home we always make sure we spend some time in the African bush. The quiet and solitude of the bush is our soul food after the land of sand that is Kuwait.<\/p>\n

Instead of featuring birds of Kuwait for this first post, I would be a little stereotypical and post my favourite Big 5 black and white images.<\/p>\n

For those that don’t know, the Big 5 originates from the most dangerous animals to hunt on foot from day’s gone by and they include;White\/BlackRhinoceros, Cape Buffalo, African Elephant, Lion andeveryone’sfavoritethe Leopard.<\/p>\n
