Wild and Wine

When in an elephant sighting, it's incredibly important to be silent and still.

Elephants see our full vehicle as one creature; if we move or make noise, we confuse them and may disturb them. It's so important to experience elephants in an undisturbed viewing.

Have you ever had an up close encounter like this?

We love PAINTED Wolf Wines and Endangered Wildlife Trust !

One of Africa's largest wilderness preserves has only 130 African wild dogs living in it... one of these dogs is the legendary alpha male of the Skukuza pack...

This beautiful male lion took full command of the road. He lay across an intersection and clearly had no intention of leaving!

Visiting Kruger at this time of year is a really unique experience. Traffic is way down, so you often have incredible sightings to yourself, or share them with just one or two other vehicles. The grass and bush are thick and green, so it's a bit more of a challenge to find wildlife. Really a beautiful and interesting experience!

Keen to visit Kruger? Us too.

Hey there little friend!

Met this yellow mongoose on the path in Modderfontein Nature Reserve. This is such a lovely park with great wildlife (including amazing birds) to see, and it's just outside of Johannesburg.

Do you have a favourite local reserve or park to watch the birds and see animals?

Let's wine down with this view, how about?

Bartinney is one of our favourite places to sip award winning (best in the world we mean!) Cabernet Sauvignon. We also love their Sauvignon Blanc and Brut! Actually, they can't do much wrong by us.

At , we love a sunset. As the light fades, the nocturnal creatures come to life. There's no such thing as a quiet night in the bush.

Excited to end the year with a Yellow-Billed Oxpecker sighting!

What birds, mammals, reptiles, or other animals, did you most love seeing in 2020?

We hope everyone has a wonderful NYE. Ideally, spend this time out in the fresh air, observing the wildlife around you! I know we will.

We love sitting next to the fire at the end of adventure filled days.

We normally have a glass of wine in hand but if someone was to offer a toasted marshmallow, it's pretty tough to say no!

Anyone else love that sticky marshmallowy goodness?? 🔥

We found the answer to our last question... Where's the wine? For now, in South Africa, you'd better have a decent stock on hand.

As of last night we are back in Lockdown level 3. That means no alcohol can be sold at shops or consumed at restaurants. Luckily we stocked up (see earlier post!).

Please keep safe and healthy. We will get through this, and one day soon we will cheers together at our favourite South African wineries.

28/12/2020

Alright, we found the wild. Now, where's the wine? 😁

Time to head back to camp and enjoy a sundowner!

Keen to get to the bush and connect to your wild (and wine) side? Us too.

There are moments in life that stand out. This was one of them.

This was the first time that co-founder .e.j.hall saw a pack of wild dogs on safari.

The noises they make are incredible and made her even more passionate about protecting this incredible species!

When we first chatted with , we were blown away by the 'Guillermo' Pinotage!!

Not only is this combination of grapes one of the original wines from Painted Wolf but the attention to detail that goes into making this wine shines through in it's delicious and rich taste!

From hand picked grapes to being hand - punched 4 times a day, this wine is one you'll never forget and that's exactly why we've included it as one of the bottles for our virtual wine tasting. (Did we mention that we're doing that?!)

We recently hosted the Cox family on our signature Cape Escape tour! They joined our Co-founder Annie for 6 days in Cape Town and the Cape Winelands.

Amazing views, getting back to nature, tasting incredible SA wine, riding the aerial car up Table Mountain, visiting local markets and braaiing into the evenings. We enjoyed G&Ts by the fire and did chocolate and wine tastings. Was an incredible week and we hope to have them back again soon!
