Episode 43- Bushveld Chronicals, Black-Footed Cats and Black Rhino Stalemates with Julian Geerts

As an Italian growing up in Africa, the bushveld bug bit Julian hard and fast. Since flying back to South Africa the day after completing university in Rome, Julian has dedicated his life to nature. His personalised safari tours, named Blackfoot Safaris has deep rooted significance in his date with destiny in rearing these wonderful cats through necessity.

My takeaway was one of awareness and mindfulness around the approach taken by Julian with respect to his awareness of every trace he may leave behind in his daily dance with the African bush.

It was wonderful to chat to a man who is so clearly living out his passion and dream.

The Tree of Life 🍃

Why?

It is actually a succulent, which means that during the rainy season it absorbs & stores water in its vast trunk, enabling it to produce a nutrient-dense fruit in the dry season when all around is dry & arid.

Elephants & other wildlife sometimes eat spongy baobab bark, which provides moisture when water is scarce.

A clear indication from this photo that the elephants have done just that!

Isn’t nature just amazing?

What an incredible picture and an even more incredible place. Can’t wait to be back soon.

. . Elephants live in tightly-bonded female-led herds. This is led by the oldest & often largest female in the herd, called a matriarch. Herds usually consist of 8-100 individuals, depending on terrain & family size.

An incredible footage of this elephant herd from above in the Klaserie River, what an incredible view!

And Finally!! How lucky were these guests.

Leucistic Lions from the Birmingham Pride of Lions crossed over into Manyeleti whilst I happened to be in the Northern parts of the reserve whilst on a privately guided safari at Pungwe Safari Camp.
What a privilege to see 2 of the last 3 remaining white lions in the wild. A day we will never forget.

Safari in the green season is fascinating for so many obvious reasons such as smells , migratory birds in full breeding plumage, babies everywhere and the contrasts of colors are an amazing sight.

To see Pungwe Safari Camp after such rains a couple weeks ago was a very special sight and I sure soaked it all in. The amazing staff were dripping wet , but still made sure our guests woke up to a steaming hot coffee.

The frogs came out in the thousands. From tree frogs , sand frogs , reed frogs , rubber frogs cassina’s, toads and many more!

Sound up - Listen to what a beautiful cacophony.

I can’t wait to return next week and see it greener and lusher than ever before.

In a time where everyone seems to strive to be “bigger & better”, this little Authentic Safari Camp strives to stay the same - A rare offering indeed.

At Pungwe Safari Camp there is no electricity , meaning there is not a single wave of energy in the air. The little solar system switches off when the sun goes down, & not even a “backup” battery means that you will rediscover , or possibly discover, how rejuvenating this really is for one’s Soul.

If the lions don’t beat the staff to it, you will be woken up to a steaming hot kettle on the fire. Those of you who have been to Pungwe know how important this kettle is to us.

We then depart on a day full of discovering nature, the Manyeleti, & what the Greater Kruger has to offer. With 2 Guided activities per day, it’s almost a guarantee that every sighting on the private concessions will be your and only yours, with possibly one of the lowest people/vehicle densities in my experience of African Safaris.

Returning back to camp lit by beautiful lanterns, the smell of burning parafin bringing back momories of what Africa used to be.
It is indeed stuck in time but in the best possible way!

Get in touch now as there are some fantastic specials for early 2022 (thanks omicron), & I know this phrase is being thrown around, but I really doubt that these prices will be repeated ever again!

It’s really a chance of a lifetime for SADC residents, & International travelers alike to take advantage of drastically reduced prices for the Safari of a lifetime.

Come rediscover, reconnect with nature & rejuvenate the soul.

They say everything happens for a reason.

Well I sure can’t wait to discover this reason.

We have just returned from our final (for now) safari to Djuma, & I am battling to even find words to describe my emotions.

It has been 5 incredible years to say the least, & what a privilege it has been to have known you.

How I will miss every single person that is even closely associated to Djuma, & I simply can’t name you all, you are just too many, but you know who you all are 😉
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU!

I can’t even begin to think of how I will miss the excitement of waking up in Djuma when on safari, preparing the coffe box for morning game drive in complete anticipation of what the day will bring in this amazing piece of paradise.

Every single day always brought about memories that will stay with me forever.

To start the morning game drive & search for tracks on the sandy, windy winding roads of the rolling landscape that the amazing property is.
Days would then continue with great food; friendly staff; great laughs; keeping fresh by the pool; action in front of the lodges; incredible bird life; further action on afternoon game drives & lastly the incredible sunsets.

All of this whilst being hosted by our grandfather of this industry, the giant goes by the name Michel Girardin. How I will miss the most enthralling & encaptivating fireside stories of this man, who is the General Manager of Djuma.
The best host you will ever come across on the African continent, although he also encaptivates people on other continents too, & apparently the poles! 😂

To all the wonderful guests, friends, colleagues & family that can relate to all of the above & that have spent time with us at Djuma, I can’t thank you enough for supporting me & my ventures to Djuma Private Game Reserve.

Something deep down says this is only a “cheers for now”, & I know I will see you soon - Beautiful Djuma!

For now, I’ll have to keep enjoying you from neighboring properties & I will sure be checking your boundaries a little more often - from afar.

See you soon,

Blackfoot Safaris.

Another memorable safari done & dusted at Jaci's Sabi House in the Northern Sabi Sand.

I couldn’t have asked to guide for a nicer bunch of humans to end off a very difficult year.
What makes this one special is that these particular humans have been my biggest supporters through the pandemic & for that I can’t thank them enough.

This Pandemic, at the same time has given them, as South African residents, an opportunity of a lifetime to visit these magic destinations at drastically reduced prices.

Mother nature certainly delivered & these guests were spoilt to some incredible sightings.

Thanks to the team at Jaci’s for always going over & above to make sure the guests are well looked after. Everything was just perfect, as usual 👌

Get in touch and let’s get planning.

Thanks to Julie Levesque for the cool Pics.
