A king’s legacy
Being the king of the jungle is no easy task. Many lion prides and coalitions have come and gone. Sometimes, their legacies will live on. One of the lionesses from the Othawa pride was seen mating with the Majingilane male lions before the males… Continue Reading “A king’s legacy”
RIP Sasekile
With the amount of individual leopards that roam around it is not hard to form an emotional bond with these felines. Sasekile (The beautiful one) recently went independent from her mother Thlangisa. She established a territory adjacent to her mother’s territory. Although I had… Continue Reading “RIP Sasekile”
Fallen giraffe
Seeing vultures or other birds of prey perching during overcast conditions are not uncommon. However, when you find around 40 jostling frantically for their position in the tree tops there’s bound to be something happening below. I made my way through the block to… Continue Reading “Fallen giraffe”
Two firsts in one day
There is always a first time for everything. This week I managed to have two firsts in one day. After spending a great drive with my fellow ranger Nigel and a large breeding herd of elephants, it was time to stop for some drinks… Continue Reading “Two firsts in one day”

At my doorstep
In the bush anything is possible. This could not be further from the truth as I witnessed something incredible at my doorstep. What started out as a normal day in the bush would most certainly not end as a normal day in the bush.… Continue Reading “At my doorstep”
Coming in strong
Understading animal movements and behaviours can provide you with exceptionally rewarding sightings. This was the case for me this week. I stumbled on some lionesses and cubs walking hastily down a road towards me. They were still a fair distance away from me. I… Continue Reading “Coming in strong”
Tuck in
Escaping economics, even in the bush, is impossible. Supply and demand will inevitably even itself out especially when lions are involved. Although waterholes support a great diversity of life forms and act as points where animals congregate, they also serve as easy pickings for… Continue Reading “Tuck in”
An easy meal
Winter is quickly approaching and life in the bush responds to the change in season. I had some quiet time one afternoon last week. A few friends and I casually sat outside soaking up the last bit of sunshine that the season had to… Continue Reading “An easy meal”
