Ground Hornbill

22/09/2024

The ground hornbill is a remarkable bird found exclusively within the African continent. The Southern ground hornbill is particularly captivating, with its distinctive black plumage, vibrant red wattle, and striking yellow eye. These birds are remarkably long-lived, with lifespans typically ranging from 50 to 60 years. Perhaps one of the most remarkable traits of the Southern ground hornbill, however, is its resonant call that can carry for distances up to 4 kilometers.

Our special guests were treated to a truly remarkable experience on the banks of the Crocodile River. The guests were ushered to their candlelit table, set amidst the bushveld. Upon arrival, they were greeted with an array of South African delicacies - the savory flavors of biltong, drywors and roasted nuts, all perfectly complemented by the crisp bubbles of a chilled bottle of champagne.

They were served a mouth-watering traditional Kudu potjie - a true taste of the local cuisine. And for dessert, an exquisite mousse. The highlight came, when in the distance, the shapes of towering elephants emerged, drawn to the edge of the riverbank, as if to join in the celebration. One majestic beasts provided a captivating performance for the awestruck diners, a truly unforgettable addition to an already spectacular bush dinner experience.

A new queen arises

A queen has fallen

20/08/2024

The nyala dance is a truly mesmerizing display of dominance. This lateral display begins with the two male nyalas circling one another, their gazes intently fixed on the ground as they meticulously size up their rival. With their eyes locked in an unwavering stare, the males will deliberately fluff up their tails, causing the distinctive white manes along their backs to stand on end. This strategic posturing is an attempt to make themselves appear as large and imposing as possible, an intimidation tactic designed to cow the other into submission. The two will then slowly step around each other, their movements measured and cautious, each one trying to gain the upper hand through sheer dominance. The victor of this peculiar dance will earn the right to mate with the nearby female, should she deem him worthy. Meanwhile, the defeated male will slink away in defeat, his pride wounded, and resume his solitary foraging, resigned to the fact that he has lost his chance to pass on his genes.

This little genet was interacting with our guests. Curiosity nearly killed the cat. Thank you for sharing your video with us Laetitia

These small bushbabies typically keep to the shadows, foraging and exploring under the cover of night. Yet, this morning, this bushbaby seemed to have a different agenda, perhaps drawn out by the smell of banana or the presence of our guests, who watched in delighted wonder as this little one hopped around the deck.

One of our staff members captured this spider carefully weaving its intricate web. These incredible arachnids are masters of their craft, utilizing a remarkable combination of instinct, dexterity, and precision to construct their delicate architectural wonders. Each thread is spun with intentionality, the spider pausing at intervals to deposit tiny droplets of sticky adhesive that will ensnare unsuspecting prey. It's a humbling reminder of the incredible engineering feats that occur all around us in the natural world. This spider's web-weaving is a captivating display of innate artistry, a true masterpiece crafted by one of nature's most skilled architects.

What are we looking at here? We stumbled upon a curious sight - a hyena had discovered the remnants of a recent kill. The identity of the animal that had fallen victim to this scavenger's opportunistic feast was unclear. Without more obvious distinguishing characteristics, the original identity of the hyena's find would remain a mystery, lost to the efficiency of this skilled and opportunistic hunter. But the dramatic scene provided a glimpse into the ruthless, unyielding cycle of life and death that plays out daily across the Kruger.

Nestled along the southernmost border of the renowned Kruger National Park, Marloth Park stands as an enchanting gateway to one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife havens. Perched on the banks of the Crocodile River, this unique wildlife sanctuary serves as a buffer zone between the untamed wilderness of Kruger and the surrounding human settlements. A mere fence, often little more than an unassuming line in the sand, is all that separates the lush, game-rich landscapes of Kruger from the more tranquil environs of Marloth Park. Yet this subtle boundary belies the vastly different experiences that each side has to offer. Within Kruger, visitors are immersed in the primal rhythm of nature, coming face-to-face with the iconic Big Five and a dizzying array of other wildlife. In contrast, Marloth Park provides a more intimate, leisurely encounter with the bush, allowing travelers to observe animal activity at a more relaxed pace, while still enjoying the privilege of being in such close proximity to one of Africa's greatest natural treasures. This unique positioning, straddling the threshold between civilization and wilderness, has imbued Marloth Park with a captivating allure, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to experience the best of both worlds - the untamed majesty of Kruger and the serene comforts of a more tamed, yet no less enchanting, corner of the African savanna.

As the crisp bite of winter begin to sweep in, signalling the arrival of the dry months ahead, we dutifully turn our attention to preparing for the changing seasons. We supplement our animals' diet with lucerne to provide additional nourishment they need to thrive during this harsher time of year. We encourage our guests to take part in this privilege

Some things are less appealing at Kruger Kumba.... like this warthog passing gas in the waterhole.

The distinctive call of the Galago, also known as the thick-tailed bush baby. At Kruger Kumba, guests frequently have the opportunity to closely observe these captivating creatures.
