The satellite collar was found in the bushes on June 13, and thus the cheetah female “Rhulani” declared dead. As the body was never found, why is it certain that the cheetah is really dead? What will happen now with the project?

We meet a very curious zebra. Not like some other zebras, it just stays with us, does not run away and looks at us curiously, wagging its tail.

On our game drive, between lions and elephants, it is refreshing when a millipede crosses the road just in front of us

The sad news reached us on 19 June. “Rhulani”, the first female cheetah introduced into the reserve, had only a short life. She died after a fatal attack with the four cheetah male.

Let’s have a look at three large mammals, which we find in the African bush, and which nourish themselves exclusively by plants: a giraffe, an elephant and a white rhino.

In Madikwe this bird with its bald head, devoid of normal feathers, is not seen very often, so these four vulture on the lookout are quite an amazing sighting.

Exactly one month ago, “Rhulani”, the first female cheetah in Madikwe, was released into the wild and as started to explore the 75,000 hectares of the reserve.

It happens frequently that elephants are blocking the way. These big animals use the road, because walking is easier for them here. Female elephants instinctively protect their babies, and elephant bulls just show their dominance and strength.‬

An impressive female white rhino was hurt by a too narrow foot collar. Rhulani sponsored the removal of the collar during the visit of private safaris from Switzerland.
