What a way to start the cycle…we have found little leopard cubs and to top it all off, we have had the pleasure of watching the Southern Pride on a buffalo kill. Due to the fact that there are 2 females that are pregnant they have been leaving the pride to search out good den [...]

It is my first day back after 2 weeks leave and I am excited to get out into the bush and see what has happened while I have been away. The last drive of my cycle left me yearning for more as it finished on such a high note. The guests had been hoping to [...]

So as the last guests leave, the new guests filter in and after such amazing game drives my hopes are high that my luck will continue. We left on the evening safari ready to explore the expanse of bush that is Sabi Sabi. Because we had seen the lions that morning we had a good [...]

what a day – the pm

Thumbnail image for what a day – the pm by Richard de Gouveia February 24, 2012

After an amazing morning safari the guests were rearing to go. I had decided that we would leave for safari a half an hour later and then stay out a little later; firstly because it was 38˚C, and secondly so that we could be there and follow the lions as they moved around on their [...]

what a day – the am

Thumbnail image for what a day – the am by Richard de Gouveia February 23, 2012

There are just some days in the bush where the animals just find you and today was one of those days. I had been driving a Canadian family for the last 2 days and we had already seen all of the Big 5 but not as well as I had hoped. With time on our [...]

With the lodges and safaris all back to normal after the serious floods that we had almost three weeks ago, the bush is still trying to rid itself of all the extra water it has accumulated. As a result of the bush still being so wet there is no way we can venture off the [...]

a tense affair

Thumbnail image for a tense affair by Richard de Gouveia February 9, 2012

The African bush is the most unpredictable place I have ever experienced…in one drive you can see the Big 5 and on the next be lucky to see an impala. The weather conditions and seasons play a huge role in the level of activity of the animals and can often make the difference when it [...]

purr-fect drive

Thumbnail image for purr-fect drive by Richard de Gouveia February 7, 2012

As we left Little Bush Camp on our afternoon safari our new guests brimmed with excitement. The game has been pumping over the last couple of days and even with the bush being very wet and no offroading possible, the animals have been very obliging by staying close to the roads.
