After the extreme heat wave and severe drought Madikwe's been suffering, the rain finally came. Unexpectedly so as the El-nino effect is expected to affect normal rainfall patterns well into April 2016. We had a total of 71mm at Madikwe hills the past week, and up to 90mm in some parts of the reserve.

To put it in perspective, the whole of the previous rainy season produced only 180mm of our expected 450mm average. The dams are all up to three quarters full, the migratory birds appeared almost over night, and the animals seem energetic and lively even though the first green flush is only appearing now.

The lion sightings during the last week at Mateya Safari Lodge have been out of this world...the dry conditions we are experiencing lately have given them ample hunting opportunity around the waterholes! Guest were very lucky to even witness the Madimo male lion coalition take down a buffalo right in front of them!

This old man comes to drink at the terrapin hide at Jaci's Lodges, Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa every day - he slowly approaches, carefully scans the surroundings, then you can see him willing his joints to bend whilst he stretches down to drink. The flick of water always changes & delights!

The extremely dry conditions we are experiencing at Madikwe currently has some advantages to it. These photos were taken over 20 minutes at Tlou dam this morning at Madikwe Hills.

A DECISION late last week by the Department of Home Affairs to amend some of its new visa regulations, which has been blamed for a decline in tourist numbers, has been welcomed by international airlines.

The changes mean that it will no longer be required for inbound travellers from visa-exempt countries to carry unabridged birth certificates when travelling with children.

But these changes do not affect South Africans, who still have to carry unabridged birth certificates of the children with whom they are travelling.

Animals have been known to "eat dirt" for the minerals in the soil. It is called Geophagy or geophagia and can be defined as the deliberate ingestion of soil.

A couple of days ago the Kwandwe males killed a buffalo in Tuningi Safari Lodge. An amazing sighting on its own. This morning the Matlapa female joined in their feast. We still don't know if she has any cubs.

These boys have been hanging out just past villa 5 at Jamala Madikwe, Royal Safari Lodge. Suspect they have a kill up there. Dragging themselves down morning and night to quench their thirst and being quite vocal at night and early morning.
