An amazing 5 year memory today back to that time that a spotted hyaena casually strolled up to the water carrying a leopard head in its mouth!!!!!

We might need to start renaming Fridays as 'lion day'. Another Friday and another spectacular sighting with the Askari pride. Also finally the confirmation we've been expecting that the 3rd female of the pride also has cubs of her own 🦁🥰.

Thank you @marieherblot & @joshuasolti
for the amazing 📸 captures.

The rain is also great for some other reptiles on

The rain is also great for some other reptiles on the reserve, snakes! Here are 2 species recently spotted in the Askari garden. On the left a Western Yellow-bellied sand snake. On the right is a Schlegel's blind snake, Africa's largest blind snake which spends the majority of its life underground feeding on termites and their larvae. Both species are harmless to humans except the blind snake does have a sharp tip on the end of the tail which it can choose to spike you with if handled.

We've had some really good rains already this season which is great news for the bush and its residents. The summer and the rains support representatives of all 7 lizard families on the reserve, we all know my favourite though.....the flap-necked chameleon 🙂 It is the only chameleon species we get here at Askari and it's able to change colour by flooding pigment into special cells under the skin called chromatophores. Did you know that chameleon means 'Dwarf lion'?

Do you know your centipedes from your millipedes?!

Do you know your centipedes from your millipedes?!
After some recent rains, both these insects are out in force. Here are a few of the basic differences.
Millipedes are diurnal, meaning active during the day; they have 2 pairs of legs for every segment on their body and are vegetarian eating plant matter.
Centipedes are mainly nocturnal and have a flattened body shape unlike the rounded shape of the millipede. They are carnivorous and have only one pair of legs per body segment

Yesterday the team had the most beautiful wild dog

Yesterday the team had the most beautiful wild dog sighting. On our way home from town we spotted them just inside the fence of the reserve up in the very top corner of Pidwa. It was just 2 males but they were very relaxed and gave a great sighting. Unfortunately it is very hard to fence wild dogs in and they have huge home ranges up to 450 square kilometres. They were already testing the fence, possibly planning their escape 🙈. As 2 males they will be on the move constantly looking for females to join up with. They come and go as they please, we feel extremely lucky to have bumped into them on this particular part of their journey

Saturday was "Birdlife South Africa's" Big birding

Saturday was "Birdlife South Africa's" Big birding Day where teams compete around the country to see how many different species can be recorded, within 50km of a central point, in 24 hours. The Askari team were hot on the task and reached a very respectable 115 species in the allotted tine. Well done to all who took part. We are bird nerds and proud 🥳

The 4th of December is International Cheetah day...to raise awareness for the plight of cheetah against extinction. There are currently less than 7000 cheetah in the world, one of their main threats being loss of safe habitat.

It's always a great experience to join with a wildlife veterinary darting. This week we assisted with the relocation of a young male tsessebe. He was taken out of the breeding group, where the older, more dominant bull was giving him hassles, and placed in a different area

Another fantastic day in the Kruger National Park for the team yesterday. Beautiful birds, elephants galore and even a leopard 🥳

The bush is full of surprises and yesterday we came across a whole clan of spotted hyaenas at one of the dams. With the smell of death in the air, we soon realised that the gathering must be food related. To our amazement a lion leg was dragged out the bushes. We couldn't find any other remains to work out who it was but spotted hyaenas will scavenge on anything they find and, in the right numbers, can even kill lions themselves. Check our story out too for some video action
