Cape Sterling at Kruger National Park, South Africa

Hi Friends,

Kruger National Park is a must-visit place in case you are visiting South Africa and love wildlife too. The habitat and vegetations change from camp to camp as you travel from one end of the park to another.

I was at Skukuza Rest Camp for my morning breakfast when I saw this beautiful glossy blue colored birds flying length and breadth of the restaurant in the search of some food.

This one is named Cape Sterling and you will easily see them in this base camp and Skukuza camp has a nice view of the river underneath.

I tried to take pictures of this one flying but those came out very blurry and not good enough to share and go directly under the category of shift+delete.

All these photos are taken by Local Guides @TheLifesWay at the Kruger National Park using Nikon D7000 camera and Sigma 70-300mm lens.

The search for food is the biggest reason we all wake up in the morning and in the animal kingdom the survival of the fittest along with taking care of oneself is of utmost importance.

This is a very quick flying bird and its silky blue and green feathers look great and the eyes of this bird can be noticed from far far away. I hope that you make Kruger National Park a must on your trip to South Africa.

Namaste!

Hi @TheLifesWay

Wow these photos are incredible! I’ve never seen so colorful birds to be honest. They are so beautiful and so bright blue. You managed to take really good shots.

I’ve also tried a long time ago taking photos of animals and it’s so hard as they keep moving constantly to snap the perfect one. Are there many birds flying around in that place? Other colors as well?

Thanks for sharing!
