On our recent trip to the Kgalagadi in Feb/March 2019, we had a lovely encounter with a Kgalagadi Cheetah – Corinne and her scallywags (two subadult boys)! The encounter in this two-minute video took almost 30 minutes. Come to Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park for awesome huge black-maned lions who stalk herds of blue wildebeest, gemsbok, springbok, eland… But the park also presents sensational views of cheetahs on hunting missions. If you love wildlife, make the effort and visit the park. Indeed, you will not be disappointed! Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park consists out of two areas, Botswana and the South Africa side. It is a tough park to be in, but an absolute gem. This park is unquestionably a desert. The tough conditions ensure few visitors who have dedicated, wildlife lovers. Corinne is born in March 2011, was 8 years old in 2019 and is a very successful Kgalagadi Cheetah mother. Contact us here FOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER Read More
Kgalagadi Lions at sleep. From our recent Kgalagadi trip February/March 2019. Kgalagadi Lions – The day the kudus were lucky! To point out, they were goofing off at the waterhole. Kudus and Oryx wait in the background to get to the water. Undeniably, the lions have been feeding a few hours ago. Some time ago, an observation was made, that there is a significant gender skew in the population of lions in the area with many more males than females. This could have long-term effects on the survival of lions in the area. As lions are the apex predator in the Kgalagadi ecosystem their extinction would have a direct effect on prey and smaller predator numbers and, in turn, have negative effects on the ecosystem as a whole.

Shadow Part I – The Bosobogolo Lion – Kgalagadi Trip February 2018 Our third night at the Bosbogolo campsite ca. 20 km away from any human being. We heard a lion roaring far away in the evening when we sat at the campfire. Even in the distance, this roaring makes you shiver. The next morning, he still roared far away. While walking around at the campsite my heart stopped when I saw THIS HUGE paw prints. And later on the day, his paws! He had visited us during the night, silently crossed our place whilst patrolling his territory. The Bosobogolo campsite is located in the wild part of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park.
