As the waters continue to recede in the wake of the flooding across Kruger, a sobering realisation is dawning. Once the relief effort ends, the massive task of restoration begins.

As a stalking leopard moved in on its prey, it looked for cover to keep itself hidden from view. What it chose might surprise you.

Birds of prey are well known for hunting reptiles. But what happens when one of South Africa’s largest eagles tackles its largest lizard species?

To keep other predators from stealing their kills, leopards are unique among the cats in their habit of storing carcasses in trees. However, as this video shows, the tactic is not foolproof.

When we think of crocodiles hunting, the prey species that come to mind are normally zebra, wildebeest or antelope. This video shows that they will take on pretty much anything that ventures too close to the water’s edge.

A visitor to a South African national park had a close call with a grumpy elephant. He showed remarkable calm, which no doubt helped de-escalate the tense situation.

They say that sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. This proved to be the case when lions attacked a female buffalo, but with an unfortunate twist.

When a pair of cheetahs chased down a blesbok, it looked like the antelope’s fate was sealed. However, their prey was not about to give up without a fight.

Even apex predators are not immune to the forces of Nature that shape their environment. In this video, three lions attempt a perilous river crossing.

After killing a warthog, a cheetah was threatened by the remaining family. Watch as this timid predator tries to stand its ground before being forced to flee.

Some people would argue that pound for pound, leopards are one of the most powerful big cats. While the title belongs to jaguars, the size of this leopard’s prey raises some serious questions.

While visiting a waterhole, an antelope had not one but two lucky escapes in quick succession. For the two predators, it was just not their day.

A group of tourists in an area got a big surprise when they spotted something white in the Kruger Park veld. Their delight is evident as they realise it is a Cape buffalo.

Like most cats, cheetahs don’t like to get wet unless they have to. No doubt, this mother’s harrowing experience did little to change her mind.

As Africa’s largest predator and a member of the Big 5, lions are one of the most sought-after species for visitors to see. Read on to learn how to maximise your chances of spotting these iconic predators.

Traffic came to a standstill recently when a mother decided to take her kids for a walk along the road. But this was no ordinary mom, and neither were her offspring.

In the African bush, encounters between predators and non-predators don’t always end as you’d expect. This video depicts just such an encounter.

A young python may never know how close it came to becoming a genet’s next meal. After careful consideration, the predator decided not to bite off more than it could chew.

Tourists were fortunate to see not one but two leopards capture an antelope. It would appear that this may have been a mother teaching her cub.
