The graceful, slender impalas are among the weakest animals in the Big 5 reserve Madikwe. During the day, they stay in the bushes, well protected from predators in the shade.

Luckily, Sean had his smart phone ready to film the moment when his vehicle suddenly stood in front of this totally relaxed black rhino. It was one of those incredible highlights that can happen on safari.

Madikwe Game Reserve is a true bird paradise. According to the latest estimates, there are more than 400 different bird species. On 17 October 2018 we began to photograph the birds and to create an encyclopedia. Our guests win a cocktail at the bar when they send us a new bird photo. Follow the current status here!

Here in the shade, a pride of lions is taking a break before a little later they will go hunting. Let’s take a look at these beautiful animals while they are resting.

With the start of the new year, we linked seamlessly to the fantastic successes in game viewings of recent months. But bad news regarding the cheetah project, which we have been supporting in Rhulani for years, overshadowed the achievement.

Let’s take a minute, very close to a herd of elephants, and watch this little baby moving between the bushes and the big animals. Isn’t this cute?

Should the two cheetahs not stay in the shade and rest during the heat of the day? No. It’s time to move through the savannah and mark the territory. We enjoy it!

When the lions are slowly waking up and set off to look for prey as the sun sets, a safari becomes really exciting. Watch these 4 Lions getting prepared for a new mission.

What a year-end! Our consistently good animal sighting statistics have been enriched by numerous special highlights. Welcome to our monthly report of our rangers from December.
