Different species, same social rule.

Grooming is about much more than keeping clean. For baboons and vervet monkeys, it helps strengthen social bonds, build trust and maintain relationships within the group.

And in this clip, we get to see both doing exactly the same thing.

How many oxpeckers can you spot?

This giraffe had a surprisingly busy morning, with these little hitchhikers working their way around his neck.

Oxpeckers feed on ticks and other parasites they find on large mammals, so this giraffe was essentially carrying his own little cleaning crew.

A special treat this morning...

A fantastic start to this morning’s safari with 5 of the 7 H5 young males, sired by the S21 males, Mr Grumpy and Torn Nose.

It’s such a privilege to be in the presence of a story in the making, watching these young lions grow and seeing what their future holds.

A very special elephant in the herd…

This is an albino elephant, a rare sight in the wild. Albinism is a genetic condition that affects the production of melanin, resulting in the unusually pale colouring we can see here.

Despite their unusual colouring, albino elephants are still elephants in every other way, growing, playing, feeding and learning alongside their herd.

A pretty special sight to come across in the Kruger.

When you hit just the right spot...

Taking full advantage of the fresh water in the reservoir.

And if you look closely, one of them even gives another a playful splash!

From seven cubs to two.
An update on our cheetah mother and her cubs. She recently lost another of her little ones, leaving just these two.

This morning, we found them climbing over a fallen tree. Mom calmly surveyed the surroundings while the two cubs attempted the rather tricky journey down to her. There was a little pushing and plenty of wobbling, but somehow they made it safely to the lower branch.

They may still be clumsy little cubs, but they are learning every day.

Shimmering like a jewel.

The Crocodile river from the high level bridge at Malelane Gate.

Ready for an afternoon safari.
What do you think we will see?

Mr Grumpy looks like he has a lot on his mind.

Sitting there, watching everything around him while keeping an eye on his Vurhami lioness.

And if you know Mr Grumpy, you’ll know that slightly panicked look is pretty much part of his personality!

Even when he’s doing absolutely nothing, he somehow manages to look like something very important is happening.

Classic Mr Grumpy.

This hyena looks like it’s been through a few battles…

But after all that, even a tough hyena needs a little rest in the morning sun.

Sometimes the simplest moments are the ones I love most.
