Zebra of nine lives.

During a drive with guests we were incredibly fortunate to witness four cheetahs attempting to hunt this zebra. On various occasions, we thought the cheetahs would be successful as the managed to down the zebra right next to our vehicle a number of times. The zebra would rest while the cubs attempted their throttle holds and to disembowel their prey and most likely due to their lack of technique or confidence, the zebra would manage to stand up and the chase would continue.

We're not sure who used more lives but the zebra finally escaped into a thicket.

For nearly 20 years, I have had the incredible opportunity to guide guests from all walks of life and many nations across our globe into the wilds and beautiful landscapes of Africa.

Since 2007 myself and a close knit group of guides have enjoyed the company of thousands of more mostly international guests and with great pride introduced many, some on more than one occasion, to our "home from home" the Pilanesberg National Park.

How privileged we were to live this lifestyle and follow this career path. We certainly miss all of you, our guests and friends, as well as what us guides knew to be our occupation, or rather, our passion!

Our thoughts currently are with the many millions across the globe that have been affected by this global shutdown. A global "reset" as termed by many. Some more affected than others but nearly all affected in some way.

This has however been good for our planet.

Perhaps a chance for earth to catch its breath. A chance for mankind to reevaluate how we interact with our natural environment, to learn from past mistakes and plan a new path forward.

At the end of the day, life goes on and when you are able to visit again, we will be here providing the same high quality private safaris as we have done, always.

We are travel ready! Stay safe and see you soon!

Last week our clients were fascinated by the annual migration of the Pioneer Caper White, a butterfly species, that by the thousands, move in a North-easterly direction from the dry central plains and deserts of South Africa.

Asked how many migrate, we weren't able to provide an exact answer but can confirm that it was probably millions, minus at least this one, here being devoured by a beautiful Flower Crab Spider.

Amarula, is probably one of the world's most famous elephants. Introduced to the Pilanesberg in 1998, he is the oldest elephant in the park. His missing tail and impressive tusks make him unmistakable and typically a wide berth is advised. He's been seen regularly this week which is a humbling experience.

It's been raining for a good few days and the rivers and dams are full to the brim. Great for wildlife but does make sightings a little bit more work. Driving Mankwe Way we found this leopard marking his territory. We watched him for some time and moved forward to get a clear visual. Suddenly out of nowhere a young cub darted across the road like it had seen ghost. This leopard was hot on his tail. Infanticide which is rarely observed in leopards is high with up to a third of all offspring being killed by territorial males and on occasion other females.
