It&#8217;s now almost a year since I made the epic journey up to Mana Pools in Zimbabwe. What excites me is that I&#8217;ll be going back in about 8 weeks&#8217; time with Marlon du Toit on the first official WILD EYE MANA POOLS PHOTO SAFARI.<\/p>\n<p>After my mind-blowing experience in Mana last year, I vowed to introduce more like-minded photographers to the magic of Mana &#8211; and this safari is the result. It should run annually, and it seems like there is already enough interest for a back-to-back double safari next year. This year&#8217;s trip is fully booked, as you can imagine.<\/p>\n<p>For more info on joining me next year, and to sign up on the waiting list (which is growing by the day) click HERE.<\/p>\n<p>I am still working through some images captured there last year. Here&#8217;s one I thought you would enjoy. It was taken at sunset on our first afternoon in the Zambezi riverbed. I was sitting on the river bank photographing some elephants foraging in the sandy riverbed. There are few things that compare to the light of an African hazy sunset combined with dust and an iconic animal.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"none\" style=\"clear:both;\"><figure class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 590px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-8gNgiqxQr3E\/UY15wWFbJEI\/AAAAAAAAQEA\/T-6aBnNRBDE\/s1600\/elephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=75&amp;resize=75&amp;ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=100&amp;resize=100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=150&amp;resize=150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=240&amp;resize=240&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=320&amp;resize=320&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=500&amp;resize=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=640&amp;resize=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=800&amp;resize=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=1024&amp;resize=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=1280&amp;resize=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1&amp;w=1600&amp;resize=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/res.cloudinary.com\/glide\/image\/fetch\/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-8gNgiqxQr3E%2FUY15wWFbJEI%2FAAAAAAAAQEA%2FT-6aBnNRBDE%2Fs1600%2Felephant_dust_2a_ManaPools_2012.jpg?ssl=1\" width=\"580\" border=\"0\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Mana Dreaming<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p>Morkel Erasmus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t believe how time has flown.
