A week or so ago I did a post of a couple of guests at Amakhala Game Reserve enjoying the view of the Bushmans River Valley during their game drive. I thought I would post a picture showing the actual view they were enjoying.

Die Groot Vyf
Wie of wat is die Groot Vyf? Kom ons wees meer spesifiek en sê die Groot Vyf van die diereryk, anders dink mense dalk ons praat van lande, natuurwonders of toerisme-attraksies. So, wie of wat is die Groot Vyf van die diereryk? Dis nie die vyf grootste diere of die mooiste vyf nie, maar die vyf wilde … Continue reading Die Groot Vyf
Enjoying the view at Amakhala
Port Elizabeth is really fortunate to be surrounded by some of the best game reserves in South Africa. I recently joined a group of tour guides on an educational to Amakhala Game Reserve situated about 75km from the city. This is the view from the plateau down towards the Bushmans River during our game drive. … Continue reading Enjoying the view at Amakhala
Jagluiperd
Die groot kat wat seker die meeste onderskat word wanneer daar oor die diereryk gepraat word is die jagluiperd. Wildkykers wil gewoonlik leeus en luiperds sien en as tiere natuurlik in Afrika voorgekom het sou hulle ook seker bo die arme jagluiperd op die lys gewees het. Die Jagluiperd is die vinnigste landsoogdier en kan snelhede van tussen 112 en 120 … Continue reading Jagluiperd
Waar is die leeus?
Besoekers aan die Addo Olifant Nasionale Park word aangeraai om twee (of drie of vier) keer te kyk en seker te maak dat daar nie leeus in die omgewing is voor hulle by die uitkykpunt op Suurkop uitklim nie. Omdat die park die tuiste is van die Groot 5 - om die waarheid te sê dit is … Continue reading Waar is die leeus?

A couple of the private game reserves around Port Elizabeth have introduced Gemsbuck into their reserves though. As Gemsbuck are mainly desert-dwelling they do not depend on drinking to supply their physiological water needs and … Continue reading Gemsbuck

This toilet with a view is the pit … Continue reading A throne with a view

Peter, who has a deep found love for nature, lives right on the edge of the reserve in the suburb of Summerstrand and commented on how interesting a trip it is. He highlighted something … Continue reading Zebra at university
Playing with cheetah
Kragga Kamma Game Park offers visitors the awesome opportunity to interact with their two tame cheetahs. The two brothers live right next door to the park's restaurant and although fully grown adults they are as tame as kittens. And kittens they are. People have the idea that big cats must be in some way different from our … Continue reading Playing with cheetah
Where to find the animals?
One of the easiest ways to find out where the animals in Addo Elephant Natinal Park can be found is by having a look at the game viewing road map in the main rest camp of the park. Visitors to the park can mark on the map where they have seen the "main" animals and although … Continue reading Where to find the animals?
