April 3, 2019March 31, 2019 Supertrooper 14 Comments

In a weird twist of fate, Van Zyl became the hunted earlier this month during a Zimbabwe safari. After he […]

Serengeti’s bone crushers

November 29, 2017November 25, 2017 Mike Haworth 4 Comments

This is another post from my trip to the Serengeti in September. The abundance of prey and predators is a perfect environment for Spotted Hyaenas, which are also known as ‘laughing hyaenas’.

November 23, 2017November 19, 2017 Mike Haworth 2 Comments

It was mid-September in the western Corridor of the Serengeti. A bit early for most of the migrants, but there were a few early arrivals.

June 28, 2017June 26, 2017 Supertrooper 30 Comments

Call it Noah’s Ark on lorries. Dozens of trucks rolled over the Zimbabwe savanna carrying elephants, giraffe, African buffalo, zebras, and numerous other large iconic mammals. Driving more than 600km of dusty roadway, the trucks will deliver their wild loads to a new home: Zinave national park in Mozambique. The animals are a donation from […]
