NGALA

2012 Ngala is back in action and living up to its name. Ngala means 'Lion' in the local language – Shangaan. In the past year or so there has been a big power struggle within most of the prides that we see on Ngala, so we haven’t seen the numbers of lions that Ngala used to be known for. But things have settled and in the last week we...

IMPALA MURDER

The cool autumn breeze flushed a series of goosebumps from rangers and guests alike as we set off from Mountain Lodge just before sunrise. The traditional pre-winter morning mist spilled over the ancient sand dunes towards the Indian Ocean. My guests had arrived very late the previous evening and this was their first drive. We had one thing on our...

EXPEDITION MV38

We found a baby hyena at the den, which began a great trip for us straight away. In Moremi we saw one female lion hunting some impala for an hour which was thrilling. Hatab No 1 is for me the best campsite to be in with hippos just in front of our door and this time we had an elephant visiting our site. He came through to have a drink in the lagoon,...

LEOPARD ON A TREE

Whenever I used to drive past that beautiful Banyan Tree (ficus bengalencis), in Kanha National Park , I always used to imagine a leopard sitting on that tree. But, every time I would pass it, it was merely a thought restricted to my imagination! But, this time, the opposite was true! It was no longer a wish of mine. I finally saw a beautiful, very...

PUFFADDER VS. OWL & MONKEYS

The morning game drive to the Marabou pan turned out rather interesting as we watched a giant eagle owl hitting a puffadder, which looked to be about 45cm long, and left it half dead in the middle of the road. The big owl did not stay because it had been attacked by many other birds. The vervet monkeys close by made a lot of alarm calls which alerted...
