An outing to the Kruger
I will never say no to a trip into the Kruger National Park. It has its own charm and there is always something to be seen. I have never had great success with leopards in the Kruger. This trip was quite different. I passed… Continue Reading “An outing to the Kruger”

The New Year has started off very well in the bushveld. On 11 December 2019, our resident female leopard gave birth to two tiny cubs at the lodge. She moved them to another den soon afterwards. After a few weeks of allowing the cubs… Continue Reading “Basile moves her cubs”

The Herald
With the rise in temperatures and the first set of rain, the Lowveld has transformed itself into a lush, green reserve. Many small creatures have started becoming mobile again due to the summer weather. I recently found this little Herald or Red-lipped snake slithering… Continue Reading “The Herald”
