Hi all, my name is Le-Roi van Niekerk. I live in South Africa in a small rural town mainly focused on Maize production.. I am the Town Planner at the Local Council Offices and a husband to a beautiful wife and a father to 3 handsome boys. My first language is not English so please excuse me if my writing is not too good.
We are situated in the North Western part of the country close to where most of the game wildlife is being preserved in the Magalies Mountain area and close to the Thabazimbi area. Or more well known as the South African bushveld.
When we have the privilege to visit the nature reserves I try to practice my photography hobby as much as I can... I would appreciate if anyone in the comments can give some tips and links to sites that will help me to take better shots. The above photo is one of our White Rhino. It is a protected species because they are being hunted for their horn... It's so sad that hundreds of these rhinos die by the hands of poachers on a monthly basis... It is such a magnificent creature. Our game farms go a long way to protect these animals and so game rangers actually need to carry semi automatic weapons for in some cases they literally enter into firefights with these poachers to protect the rhino. I unfortunately cannot disclose the name of the Game Farm where I took this picture mainly because it is regarded as a near threatened species and many game rangers died at the hands of poachers. So sad that it had to come to this. We South Africans are very thankful to everyone throughout the world trying their best to protect our rhino.
I will write some stories of our trips to the game farms and about the wildlife we have here.
Well that's it for now. Hope you found my short discussion about our rhino interesting and I would love to write some more on our other animal. I will also write about places to visit if you were to ever consider vising South Africa. Peace to all.
Hello friend and welcome to the community :) I think yoy will find it really beneficial here. Also amazing to see that you are from africa. Ive always wanted to visit but it costs beyons my buget. How are things going there ? As a living point of view.
All the best from me :)

Thank you for the Welcome @vangelov. Have you ever wondered which specific country/part of Africa you wanted to visit? There are so many countries in Africa which are very stable and safe but also a lot which are extremely dangerous and must be avoided due to many reasons like civil wars/genocide/etc. I am from the most southern part (South Africa) which is economically not strong and a bit unstable but a wonderful place to live in and to visit as a tourist. People tend to really go out of their way to make you feel welcome, especially from the rural area (farming community) where I come from, and the weather is just great! Sunny and warm! Living here is great. Like all places it has its up and downs but we stand strong and overcome all obstacles no matter how high. Anytime let met know if you want to know more about South Africa and certain parts in Africa and I can give you some tips where to go and what to avoid. Peace to you!

Amazing pictures. The bird is just brilliant. Welcome to Steemit!
When I arrived on Steemit a few weeks ago I was very confused how this all works. I read through hundreds of articles about the dynamics of Steemit and finally wrote this The Ultimate Guide for Steemit Beginners: Money, Posts, Design, Topics, Bots, Behaviour, Community and Apps. I wrote it for YOU. Normally I wouldn't post my links into others comments unasked. But the massive positive feedback from my readers made it my mission to help newcomers finding this post quickly. Feel free to ask any questions. I will try to answer them all. I apologize if you are not interested in this and I will not further disturb you.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
