Two days ago I was busy viewing two female lions by one of our dams, when the two of them slowly began to move away from the dam. I then noticed that they looked very interested in something. The “something”  turned out to be a small herd of Blue Wildebeest which were making their way [...]

Our dominant male lion was found with a young zebra kill this morning. It was still very fresh and had probably been killed in the early hours. There were tracks of lionesses and young lions in the area but due to the heat they were probably sleeping in the thick bush to get some shade. [...]

It was the afternoon drive and my tracker and I decided to try and find the herd of elephants for our guest. The elephants have been quite difficult to find in the last month as they have been browsing in one of the areas on Kapama with very dense vegetation. One of the other rangers [...]

Our game drive started as normal with a few general game species allowing us to view them up close and personal. We were then privileged to see a herd of elephants as they chased the smaller Cape buffalo out of a mud wallow (size dominates in the bush). Having taken some awesome photos we carried [...]

Yesterday’s afternoon safari started off with an African rock python lying along a branch in an acacia tree. We were alerted to it’s presence by a flock of White crowned shrikes putting up quite a noisy racket. A while later they were joined by a tree squirrel which didn’t like the presence of the snake [...]

This morning’s safari started out with not too much happening. After about half an hour of impala sighting after impala sighting I noted my guests becoming a little restless. While Jeffery my tracker was out following tracks of the male lion, I decided to show my guests some useful vegetation found all around us.

This morning we set out on a mission to find the elephant herd, our attempt was in vain however as we tracked them and eventually found the herd on foot in the centre of a big block and unfortunately were unable to view them with the vehicles.  Towards the end of drive as it was [...]

On our way south this afternoon, via boomhuispad, we were stopped by a Hinged back tortoise (Kinixys belliana) feeding in the middle of the road…but, it was what it fed on which surprised me!
Hinged back tortoises are predominantly herbivorous, but occasionally snails, termites, beetles or invertebrates form part of their diet. This tortoise was feeding [...]

On a recent game drive we set out to track the resident pride of lions, so we headed off to where the last known tracks had been seen. We were looking at a group of giraffe in that area when we heard vervet monkeys giving alarm calls just behind them, this often means that they [...]
