Traffic report: a slight delay due to a few rather LARGE guests crossing the road. 🐘😂 No complaints here!

A rare glimpse of a brown hyena on the reserve — a secretive and mostly nocturnal member of the African predator family.

Also known as the strandwolf, brown hyenas are easily recognised by their shaggy dark coats and striped legs. They are mainly scavengers, playing an important role in keeping the ecosystem clean.

One of those special safari moments you don’t see every day. ✨

A rhino’s layer of dried mud is more than just a dusty appearance. 🦏

Rhinos wallow in mud to help cool their bodies, protect their skin from the sun and remove parasites. Once it dries, the mud forms a protective layer on the skin. 🌿

Some safari moments are too special not to capture. 📸🦏

A photograph to take home, a memory to look back on, and a moment from the wild that stays with you long after the safari ends. 🌿

Now that’s a mouthful. 🦛 Did you know a hippo can open its mouth to nearly 180 degrees? That’s roughly 1.2 metres wide — and one of the largest mouths of any land mammal.
