When is enough, enough!
One of the more frequent questions asked on safari these days is “when will they start culling elephants again?”, and the truth is there is no easy answers to this problem.

White Lions of the Timbavati
As mentioned in my previous post, White Lions once again roam the Timbavati but this time they have arrived en mass. There are now currently 6 White Lion cubs that we know of in the Timbavati. This has never happened before and if the ancient Shangaan are to be believed all is well in the land. The White Lions have been seen as a good omen for many years and we hope this will be true this time around.

Me and Mr Brown on Safari
This week we had the pleasure of hosting the now World Famous Dan Green, from the Cape based super group, Me and Mr Brown.

None the less we did have a few real special sightings including White Lions in the Timbavati! Read more…

Rain’s Finally Arrive!
The Rains have finally arrived and the bushveld is transforming into a beautiful green utopia. The overall condition of all the game species are improving by the day as the nutritious green flush comes through. This week we had a wet but extremely successful safari in the Kruger National Park and the Timbavati. In what can only be termed an “extraordinary” 24 hours in the Kruger National Park the game was in abundance.

Old friend hangs in!
Most people who have been on safari with me in the Timbavati over the last 9 years has probably spent time with a beautiful leopardess called the Rockfig Female. Sadly things haven’t gone her way over the last few months.

Leopards, Leopards and more Leopards
A hearty hello once again, and just back in civilisation for a few days before heading back to the bush again.
Still no rain, but what it does mean is that the predators are having a field day at the moment. Game is struggling and are having to take more risk’s to get to water and food and the big cats of Africa are cashing in. Leopards in particular, as so it would seem as on our last safari,as we managed to see at least 1 every drive and 1 managed to nearly put me on her menu… Read more…

Timbavati Safari
Greetings to you all! Dean and I have both just returned from our respective safari’s and what can we say, Africa has certainly put on her red dress! On Deans first day of Safari he came across 4 separate Lion sightings, 2 Leopards on Kills in Trees, about 16 White Rhino, a plethora of Elephants and 3 massive herds of Buffalo not to mention all the general game to boot. Not bad for 12 hours of safari in the Kruger National Park. Read more…

Lions on Safari
Greetings after a lenghty break! Well we have just returned from another amazing Safari this time it was Lions on Safari for a change! Yes we hosted 4 Irish lads out supporting the British and Irish Lions and boy did the African bush put on her best dress. These boys brought the proverbial luck of the Irish as they witnessed some of the most memorable game sightings I have ever had the privilege of watching.
