In celebration of National we put our heads together and discussed what Kruger’s animals would bring to a braai.

We couldn’t wait to share this one with you, so it is a bit early!!

Here is what we came up with 😂😂

Sooo…. We’ve been pretty busy lately!! 😅

Introducing the new Safari App on iOS! We’ve kept the features, updated the design across the whole app and introduced some pretty cool new features too!

We absolutely love what we built and we hope that you love it too!!!

Android users, we’re just waiting for Google Play to approve the update, it’s been with them since last week so we are hoping that it will be with you soon!!

Happy spotting everyone!!

We wanted to get ahead and put out a post dedicated to one of our favourite characters of the bush! 🐾

Despite their remarkable intelligence, resilience and teamwork, African wild dogs remain critically endangered, with only an estimated 6,600 adults left in the wild. 😢

A huge thank you to everyone working tirelessly to protect these magnificent animals and the wild spaces they call home, helping ensure future generations get to experience the magic of seeing a pack in the wild.

Here’s to the painted dogs. ❤️🐾

May their packs grow, their territories expand, and their calls continue to echo through the bush for generations to come.

Turns out elephants aren’t very good at hide-and-seek. 🐘 😋

We counted up every animal logged on the Safari Spotter app, and elephants have stomped their way into first place.

Giraffes stuck their necks out to claim second, lions took third without lifting a paw, and spotted hyenas laughed their way into the top ten. 🦒🦁

How many have you spotted? And which animal has been avoiding you like it owes you money? 👀

Built for stealth and remarkably adaptable, leopards are among Africa’s most successful predators.

But even for those lucky enough to have seen one in the wild, there’s plenty about them that may come as a surprise.

Here are 10 things you might not know about leopards:

1. No two coats are quite the same.
A leopard’s larger markings are known as rosettes, and their unique patterns can be used to identify individual animals.

2. Not every kill ends up in a tree.
Leopards are more likely to hoist prey when competition from scavengers such as hyenas is high. Sometimes, eating on the ground is simply easier.

3. When they do climb with a kill, their strength is extraordinary.
Research in South Africa’s Sabi Sands recorded leopards hoisting prey weighing as much as 140% of their own body weight.

4. Almost anything can be on the menu.
Antelope may be familiar prey, but leopards also eat birds, reptiles, rodents and insects. They’ve even been recorded eating beetles found in buffalo dung.

5. They’re capable swimmers.
Despite their reputation as exceptional climbers, leopards are also comfortable in water and can swim when necessary.

6. You may hear one before you see one.
A leopard’s territorial call is a deep, rasping sound often compared to someone sawing a piece of wood.

7. Mothers regularly relocate their cubs.
Young cubs spend their first weeks hidden away, and their mother may move them between den sites as she attempts to keep them safe from predators.

8. A mother’s tail can help her cubs follow.
The conspicuous white underside and tip of her tail provide a useful visual signal as cubs trail behind her through dense vegetation.

9. They can survive remarkably close to people.
Leopards have persisted in landscapes heavily altered by humans, sometimes living much closer to towns and cities than most people realise.

10. In dry country, they can go days without visiting water.
Leopards obtain much of their moisture from their prey. In arid environments, individuals have been recorded going for extended periods without drinking.

Raasie is taking longer than usual to drop the team news for this weekend, so we thought we’d pass the time by putting our own Kruger team together.

Quite a strong team but we’re still not sure that they’d compete against The Boks!!! 🇿🇦

Roll on the weekend!!!
