My soul cries! There were more than 250,000 wild lions roaming the African plains. This is not a fairy-tale, this is how the world was 50 years ago. There are now less than 20,000.

With a decline in the lions’ population there’s a real concern for the future of the wild lions in the world. The decline is mostly due to habitat loss, human-animal confrontation, and legal and illegal hunting.

Black backed jackals are a widely distributed species that are known for their cunning and daring. They are often seen nipping in to steal a morsel from Lions on a kill. Mainly nocturnal but seen regularly during the day, this handsome animal has a call to remember. The Black-backed Jackal feeds on small mammals, reptiles, birds, eggs, carrion and fruit. They do scavenge but are hunters in their own right.

A lifetime experience for our guests on safari. We were privileged to witness this stunning elusive leopard on a hunting expedition. There is no soul food like the Kruger National Park!

Lower Sabie, Sunset Dam: White Faced Ducks are a highly social species. Mutual preening is highly developed and is important for permanent pair bonding.

The adult males have the front half of their head and throat white and the rest of their head and neck are black with white patches on the underside of the neck. The female is similar but the front of the head and neck is spot tinged with rust colour.

Although they have the long neck and long legs of other tree ducks, little time is spent perched in trees as they prefer sand banks. Their behaviour is more like a goose or swan than a typical duck. Photo: Ann Evans
