Our Top 20 90s Billboard Hits That Aptly Describe Wildlife
I’m a typical child of the 90s, one that cried 14 year-old tears into my kiwi-strawberry Esprit when Kurt Cobain met his untimely death in 1994. I was also the iconic 90’s kid that became annoyed when my favourite cassette stretched and fluttered into oblivion. I had to sit for hours with a pen, trying to wind […]
Week in Pics : Hello Darkness My Old Friend
Simon and Garfunkel produced the magical hit, The Sound of Silence, back in the vintage era of 1964. The dramatic hit shot to fame and has since been covered by many up and coming artists.

Tracking Grey Giants at Ezulwini Game Lodges
Colossal grey giants flay their trunks in time with the gentle breeze that sweeps through the Balule. Crunching can be heard from their eager debarking of trees and uprooting of arid vegetation, but we barely hear them trundle through the ‘veld because of the micro-morphology design of their cushioned feet.

Today, August 9th, is National Women’s Day in South Africa and is declared a public holiday. Today is the day we commemorate the 1956 march held by women to petition against an ancient apartheid law that required all persons of colour to carry a ‘pass’.

Relief Camp Manager Photographs Elephant at Pool in Camp
We’re in the full swing of winter in the bushveld, which means our lush velvet vegetation has now become arid and crunchy. During the winter, water sources dwindle which means wildlife congregates at waterholes and tend seek out any available water sources. Elephants love water and will only soak up water from pristine sources, hence their […]
UPDATE : Machaton Male Lions STILL Causing Havoc in the Balule
The 3 Machaton male lions have entered into Mohlabetsi turf with an arsenal of attitude and brazen bravado. Looks wise, they’re a powerhouse of all the lion stereotypes – heavyset, cascading manes and a strut that oozes confidence. The Mohlabetsi male lions were initially 8 lions strong and appeared to dominate the Balule area around […]
