African Wildlife Guide

Home

Wildwatch.com celebrates the exciting wildlife encounters that safari guides and guests at more than 35 camps run by &Beyond (formerly CC Africa) throughout Africa and central India experience on a daily basis. It will give &Beyond’s knowledgeable guides, as well as our guests, the opportunity to share the magic of Africa and India's pristine reserves with the rest of the world. We invite you to add your unique and personal experience on our sightings page, where it can be preserved and viewed by our community members at will. We would be delighted to view your eyewitness accounts of your African Safari and have a look at the photographs that you have taken.

Although it is possible to view rhinos from all our South African lodges, in light of the current surge in rhino poaching across the country and wishing to avoid any unwanted attention of the rhinos in the reserves in which we operate, &Beyond has decided to temporarily suspend posting sightings and photos of rhinos.

CHEETAH KILL

Viewing cheetah on Ngala can be difficult at the best of times, but watching them hunt and make a kill is something really special! Four cheetahs had been found that morning and as it was a hot day we decided to only head towards them in the afternoon! When we arrived the cheetahs were behaving as we had expected; sleeping under a tree! As we had ...

MORE THAN AN AVERAGE DAY IN THE BUSH

Having the rare opportunity to experience three different cats hunting, feeding and interacting with each other in one day, is a dream come true. Observing their different techniques and approaches to ensure their survival, proved once again to me the unmerited diversity we have in the animal kingdom. Lioness kills buffalo While viewing a female ...
