There has been plenty of animal activity on the reserve this past week with sightings of the Magnificent Seven – lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, elephant, cheetah and wild dog! We found the Southern Pride lioness walking in an open area with her two cubs following. She seemed to be heading to a certain area, when… [Read More]
Ranger Profile: Andries Ndlovu
My name is Andries Ndlovu. As a child I was always intrigued by nature. My first experience of the true wilderness came when I bartended at a lodge on a Big 5 reserve.
Naturally my attention shifted from mixing cocktails and flipping bottles to bush walks and game drives. It was only a matter of time before I got my field guiding qualifications and instead of being behind the bar, found myself behind the steering wheel of a game viewer. I’ve been guiding for almost 6 years now and still enjoy every minute of it. Waking up every morning and knowing you’ll create memorable experiences, for me, is the most rewarding feeling ever and that’s what makes being a guide at Sabi Sabi the greatest job! Besides the awesome fauna and flora the reserve has to provide, the family bonds between staff make it truly a home away from home.

The seasons are fast changing and although daytime temperatures are still very warm, we are waking up to beautiful misty mornings which soon burn off when the sun rises. Living in the bush has its advantages and one of them is waking up and heading to work with wildlife on your doorstep. A pod of… [Read More]
A Week in the Bush Vol. 351
The cats have most certainly dominated this week’s highlights; and a sure highlight was a heart-warming sighting of the Southern Pride female, her cubs, and the N’waswishaka male lions together! The week started with the four N’waswishaka male lions all separated which allowed for great sightings of them calling for one another… Once they had… [Read More]
