Weekly Photo: Another day in Africa

Over the weekend I spent a day in the Pilanesberg National Park. I was incredibly spoilt to see a pride of lion with six cubs eating a wildebeest. I sat watching this wonderful scene for about two hours. At one stage this little cub started to play with his mother, rolling on the floor and pouncing upon her.

Cats of Turkey

Whether it's in the iconic monuments of Istanbul, the ruins of Ephesus, or the markets of Cappadocia, one thing you're sure to find in Turkey are cats. Everywhere you go there are cats wondering the streets of Turkish cities. These cats, while stray, are always fed by the local communities.

Cats are tolerated by Muslim communities, and it is thought that a cat chased away a poisonous snake  in defending the Prophet Muhammad.
