The Tsonga red squirrel is an endemic and rarity to see here on Phinda something that all guests visiting us should try and ask their rangers to show them. One of the ways we are often alerted to their presence is by their high pitched alarm call. After many occasions of trying to find out what would set these little creatures off, such as snakes or other...

One of the most colorful and interesting birds on Phinda for me is surely the little bee eater, they are so tiny yet they labor along and build burrows in banks as deep as 70 cm long and lay their tiny clutch of eggs.

The male had a few fresh scars on his face,...

Winter time for me is incredible, mostly as animals get active a bit earlier in the afternoons due to the cooler weather. We where most defiantly rewarded by heading out a good two hours earlier than all the other game drives and followed up on the North Pride. We found the pride on the edge the marsh and proceeded to spend the next four hours with them,...
