Nandzana Leopard
Whilst thoroughly enjoying the bush life and all the spectacular events that have taken place, there was still one animal that has evaded me each time I head off into the bush. I’ve seen a couple of tracks, heard calls outside my room and… Continue Reading “Nandzana Leopard”
The Separation
Breaking the news that there’s a male lion in the area often creates pandemonium in a game reserve. To me it is almost more interesting watching the people’s various reactions and responses to the sighting than the sighting itself. I had spent a morning… Continue Reading “The Separation”
Eye to eye
Walking around in the bush and being able to get close up to wild animals provides such a rush. At a recent drinks break while on safari I came across two Black Backed Jackals lazing about near our spot. One of the jackals took… Continue Reading “Eye to eye”
Hopefully another hooked lip
One thing that has always boggled my mind is how far some people wish to drive while on safari. Sometimes there’s enough to be seen in the immediate vicinity around the lodge/camp. After one very entertaining morning game drive it was time to head… Continue Reading “Hopefully another hooked lip”

Warning
One of the most fascinating aspects of being in the bush must be a sense of the unknown. Tracking animals and eventually finding them feels like one of the most rewarding activities. My Friday morning started with some signs of elephants and there was… Continue Reading “Warning “
Peek a boo
The New Year has kicked off with a bang and I find myself in a very different part of the country starting a completely new adventure. I have started training and studying as a field guide close to the Makalali Private Nature Reserve in… Continue Reading “Peek a boo”
Blacksmith Lapwing Nesting
There are often times that we look, but we don’t see. This was the case for me one morning when viewing an all too familiar scene. Intaka Island created a new little sand based island in one of the ponds. This attracts many birds… Continue Reading “Blacksmith Lapwing Nesting”
