 We had left one of our female leopards and her about 1 ½ year old male cub in the morning at a watering hole. Full bellies and the remains of a impala carcass they had left in the morning promised we would find them not far from their shady spot in the afternoon. The mother was still lying in the shade between some high grass, only some spots being...

Over the years hyenas’ have been a much persecuted species in Northern Natal and in particular on farm lands around Phinda. Hyena and leopard are the 2 species never to be reintroduced back onto Phinda. Due to our conservation efforts and the available protected land the hyena population is slowly recovering. Sightings in the northern woodlands are on the...

 The dwarf bittern was one of the summer’s birding highlights at Kirkman’s Kamp. After only one sighting of the bird in the last wet season, the early rains this year promised us a lot more. We were very lucky on this trip to spot the bird as we left the lodge on a dried up watering hole. And again, Wally got a fantastic picture of a bird that he hadn’t...

The day was just getting warm when we decided we should get back to the camp for breakfast. On the way one of the guests that was sitting behind me shouted a lion! Everybody looked to where he pointed. There was a female lion that was crouching very low in the grass. As we watched, a zebra appeared from a distance running to the direction of the lioness....

 We were out bright and early this morning, and as the sun rose we headed eastwards along the road separating Ngala from the Kruger National Park. Our hope was to find tracks of a pride of lions that with any luck had crossed over to Ngala during the evening. Much to our delight we found tracks, Fanny our tracker hoped off the vehicle to inspect and...

 This time of year is an exciting one as the impala rutt is nearing. This means that the bush will be filled with the bellowing and roaring of the impala rams as they do battle to hold the breeding rights of the herds.
While on game drive yesterday morning we saw hundreds of vultures circling and descending into the tree tops, we approached the area...

 One of the most fantastic things about working in an unfenced environment like Kirkmans Kamp is that we often see individual animals that we have never seen before.
The other day it was a giraffe bull that was so dark it was almost black. This morning we saw a hippo sighting that was different to all the rest… this individual, who was feeding on the...

 It was early morning on the 9th of March when we start our game drives. We heard zebra alarm call about two hundred meter from the camp. Suddenly behind the bush we saw three big male Lion approaching the Zebra, unfortunately for them the Zebra saw them from far away. This was the Grumeti Pride and it looked like they had eaten last night because there...

 The western side of Ngala is a special part of the property, with few roads and big blocks it has a wilderness feel about it, and often offers some of the most amazing and unexpected sightings.
This morning it was the lure of the unexpected that brought us to Big dam, a beautiful water hole in the west. On our arrival, a herd of elephants were there...
