Hi Dan
If you haven't been to Namibia yet...you should at least put us on your "to do" list! Besides crocs, you should be able to see leopard, hyenas and lost more if you visit the right places!
Really good shots from your side!

Yes Matthew, it is a jumping spider but do not ask me which one! Even here in Namibia we have quite a huge range of them. And just try go catch one of those and you will see why thy are called jumping spiders!
