Male leopard treed by two spotted hyaenas

With all the rains in summer animals can be difficult to spot,as the bush become so thick.But using all the senses one can have an idea of what is going on out there.On a morning game drive we stopped under a baobab tree to have our coffee as we heard an alarm call from impalas. We drove to where the impalas were calling from only to find two spotted...

Impala's first born!

After a gestation period of about five to six months,one lucky impala harem has dropped their first lamb for this year.This would open doors for the rest of the family members and the rest of the impala community since they have been holding on to their syncronisation.

Spotted

Myself, TJ (guide), Joseph (tracker) and 4 guests were out on foot on one of the small islands scannong the tall trees hoping to spot a Pels Fishing Owl roosting but instead we found this Spotted Gennet resting up in a fork of a tree. It watched us for a while before it lay down its head and went back to sleep. It just goes to show you never know what you...

Look out

We were out on a staff bumble when we came across the most incredible sight. Two Full grown male lions up in the trees trying to use this higher vantage point to scan the surrounding flood plains. They scanned the area for a full 20minutes before they climbed down and headed off on their merry way. A truelly fantastic thing to see.
