Another weekend has passed here at

Thank you to all the amazing locals who have supported us through these tumultuous times so far, we appreciate every booking and guest and we certainly value your input.
With rain set to fall for the next few days, let’s all hold thumbs that HiP receives a lot more water. The rivers are lowering almost daily and water holes at hides are also looking very dry.
Today we took a look out at Thiyeni hide, disappointing to see no water at all.
We will remain optimistic though as we enter our Summer season which will hopefully bring with it the usual rainfall that goes hand in hand with our Zululand Summers.

Once again, thank you to each and every local who has supported our guided drives and we look forward to welcoming you back more often.

What to share on a freezing cold Zululand winter evening?!
DUNG ... and more specifically, Black and White Rhino dung.
When cruising through Game Reserves, Rhino “toilets” or “middens” are often seen, but, do you know how to differentiate between the Black or White Rhino dung?!
First of all, let’s talk “colour” ... Black rhino dung is orange-brown, retaining an orangey-yellow colour when dry.
White rhino dung is dark or light grey, retaining a pale yellow or white colour when dry. The difference is due to the levels of melanin in the grass that the white rhino eats!
Why the difference? This is mainly due to the eating habits and mouth shape of both. A white rhino has a very broad, flat, wide lip, which makes perfect sense as this animal is a grazer and requires a mouth designed for this. The broad muscular lips are ideal for gripping and tearing up grass and it quite noisily smacks its lips together as it feeds. In effect these large lips act as a non-mechanised lawnmower!
The black rhino on the other hand is a browser and feeds on leaves, shoots and branches. As a result it has a prehensile, pointed lip, which it uses to grab hold of often very spiky trees. White rhino dung is made up purely of grass. It is badly digested and looks very similar to the grass that comes out of your lawn mower.
A black rhino however, has twigs and branches in its dung. Amazingly, every single piece in its dung is shawn off at a 45 degree angle due to the way that its teeth grind together as it feeds. This way, you will never be able to confuse it with any other species!
For bookings, please contact our offices and we have a 24hour dedicated line as well.

Today we think of those Lion who have lost their lives through our greed and blood lust.
We think of those who have suffered and died in canned hunting facilities, petting facilities and for the illegal bone trade - and those who still do.
We think of the declining numbers of wild Lion who are in desperate need of our protection ... we pledge to do what we can to do just that, to bring their plight to the world and to be better humans.
