We are on our way to the Jaguar capital, but yesterday we got an amazing encounter with the rare and elusive Ocelot. In the past we have only had fleeting glimpses and mostly in the early evenings. So this was extra special to see in the mid afternoon.

Tracking jaguars in the very hot and dry Pantanal. Yesterday we were very lucky to come across a Jaguar cub, just a few months old, who it seems like might have lost its mother. Old tracks of a female were all around the forest edge, so we’ll try monitor the situation. Tomorrow we head to the Jaguar capital and our excursions will be exclusively by boat rather than by foot or vehicle….

World elephant day 2024. This was taken a month ago in Amboseli. Got to be one of the best places in Africa to get views of large breeding herds ( this was one of over 50 that we spent the whole morning with).

Last week we ended our wonderful safari in South Africa at Phinda. One of the focuses was to see Pangolin. For those of you who don’t know, not only is this adorable and endangered animal the most trafficked animal in the world, but probably one of the hardest animals to see in the wild. In fact, it’s a common joke for guides when guests are prompted to ask to see Pangolin.. most safari guides have never seen one! Although they look like Armadillos, they are not actually that closely related to them. At Phinda we went out with the dedicated research team to find one of these Temmincks pangolins, learnt ground breaking new information about them and wandered through thick thornveld watching it feeding. What a privilege. I guess the next stop will be to try and see the giant pangolin in the Congo….

People always ask if one can outrun an elephant, never if you can outrow one. I guess after gym, in the bush, you have to have breakfast with the elies….in the Timbavati right now, at the wonderful Tanda Tula camp..
