In a rare and endearing encounter, a young rhino calf finds itself in the middle of a buffalo herd, and shows just enough courage to prove it’s no pushover. This encounter will leave you with a smile on your face.

As a pack of African wild dogs cooled down at the river, a commotion broke out on the far bank. It was followed by an unusual moment of interpredator tolerance.

When an animal sustains an injury, it becomes an obvious target for predators. In this video, the patience of three lions is ultimately rewarded.

A fight breaks out in an overcrowded tree as three spoonbills fight each other for the nesting space!

A young elephant calf flees for its life as a hyena gives relentless chase. With no mother in sight, the baby approaches a safari vehicle in a haunting search for safety.

A muster of storks risked the sharp teeth of crocodiles as they moved in amongst them to scavenge what they could!

The proposed reopening of the Letaba High Water Bridge has been delayed by several days.

One hot afternoon along Kruger’s riverbanks, a massive bull elephant trades grazing for a full-body plunge. Ting Vision at Buckler’s Africa Lodge captured this joyous cool-down routine, where flops, snorkels, and showers beat the heat.

A quiet fishing session for two otters quickly turned into a fierce battle when a crocodile crashed the scene. In a display of speed, strategy and stubbornness, the clever otters refused to give up their spot without a fight.

A peaceful drink at the waterhole turns into a frantic stampede when a crocodile launches a surprise attack on some unsuspecting zebras. This sighting will have you holding your breath!

A male lion waits in ambush, eyes locked on an unsuspecting hyena. When the moment of attack arrives, though, a miscalculation sends the predator scrambling behind a very lucky rival.

A lioness carried a warthog across the thorny terrain of the Dinokeng Game Reserve recently.

In the wild, every decision matters, even a short walk to the water’s edge. This encounter displays how patience and timing can turn the tables between two of Africa’s most formidable predators.

At a glance, animal behaviour can sometimes appear confusing. But, as this video shows, there is normally method in their ‘madness’.

A calm waterhole turns into a scene of stealth and survival as a heron reveals its shocking appetite, and the birds just keep coming back! This sighting will leave you marvelling at just how unpredictable nature is!

Even the heaviest sleepers in the wild can’t afford to let their guard down for long. One buffalo learned this lesson in dramatic fashion when a stealthy crocodile drifted a little too close for comfort.

Although they are apex predators, lion moms have their work cut out when tending their demanding cubs.

Elephants share close bonds as this elephant mom showed when she went out of her way to help her calf up a riverbank.
