Leopard takes down impala
The unpredictable nature of wildlife is what makes going on safari special and unique. Who knows what may be lurking around the next acacia bush or down a quiet dry riverbed?

Hyena Birth – Moment of Magic
There have been many viewpoints written about the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), from both sides of the story.

South Sudan – Off The Beaten Track
South Sudan is one of the newest and lesser-known countries in the world, where ancient cultural rituals collide with preconceived traveller expectations.
