Summer time, rainy season, baby time. There is enough food for all young animals, so that they quickly grow big and strong. We’re looking at a very small impala. Really wonderful, the little animal with the oversized eyes and ears!

“That was a cool sighting with a buffalo bull busy having a mud wallow.” This is what Willem tells us at the end of a great game drive, which once again offered a show you can not see every day.

Did you know that spotted hyenas often move together in a “clan” and are successful hunters? Rhulani’s ranger Alasdair tells us about a recent sighting where seven hyenas appeared out of nowhere and surrounded us, making us feel like part of the clan.

It’s not a secret that there are snakes in the African bush and we also know that our experienced rangers have seen quite a few. But this sighting, which happened a few days ago and which Willem tells us about, was the first of its kind for him. It has to do with a black mamba.

A bit hidden in the grass, the two Cheetah brothers have a cuddle time. Cats do this to groom themselves, but even more so to strengthen their bond.

We have left the wild dogs for a while and find here in the bushes, lying and sleeping comfortably, the lions. Two great sightings, so close together. “That’s cool,” says Ranger Alasdair. But suddenly the peaceful lions behave quite strangely, weird. They get up. “What the hell is going on there?” Alasdair turns around, reverses a bit.

A Bushbuck family lives in the middle of our camp. We’ve grown accustomed to these cute roommates just like they’ve grown accustomed to us. In today’s blog, Rolf tries to get a little closer to the shy animal.

It was an afternoon when all three Rhulani rangers set out in their vehicles with the sole purpose of finding the cheetahs. The team eventually succeeded, and as Willem tells us, meeting the cats was quite magical.

Two very different Madikwe residents meet at the waterhole. There are two African Spoonbills that are seen frequently in this place, looking for food in the water. And then an elephant stopping by to quench his thirst.

Our funny ranger Alasdair, also known as “Captain Redbeard”, tells us another of his recent funny anecdotes. That afternoon he was roaming through nature, and the conversation with his bird-interested guests turned to the “Brown Snake Eagle”. Why is this bird called that? Not even once in his life our experienced Alasdair has seen this bird with a snake in its.
