I remember a particular day in my early twenties, sitting beside a pool questioning life. I remember it because it started with chewing on a blade of grass and doing very little else which is one of my favourite pastimes. My deep wondering was, like all wondering, both profound and all together very simplistic. [...]

Come and see what we can find today! The diveLIVE team are on track to do two LIVE dives again today (15 May) but with slight time variations to allow them to work on some equipment refinements. The plan is to go LIVE at 11:30 for the first dive and then to do a second dive [...]
With Autumn drawing to a close darkness shrouds the cooling evenings in Djuma. The roar of the lion, as the name implies, has not been heard for some time, with both the Birmingham Boys and the Avoca males attending to business elsewhere. The Nkuhuma Pride, however, moved into Djuma from the west. The prides numbers still remain one [...]
As many of you know the webcam at the Djuma waterhole is one of the oldest wildlife webcams in the world! It was installed by Africam back in 1998 and has pretty much broadcasted unbroken for 19 years. The camera has been controlled by our volunteer zoomies for some years now. In addition to a [...]
From today WE will be cat reporting differently. Instead of a weekly blog post describing each sighting, WE will be taking it to the cat’s individual facebook pages. This will give you a chance to interact with your favourite cat character in a far more intimate and immediate way. In other words, every time a [...]
Friday 2 June As the day started to cool on the Sunset safari, WE visited the Styx pride and their cubs who were finishing off the last of their buffalo kill. The cubs were feisty, scrapping amongst themselves for the last of the tender bits - the lionesses tolerant but occasionally administering some disciplinary growls. [...]
Since rhino poaching started increasing rapidly in South Africa a number of years ago WildEarth, along with many others, decided to restrict available information on the whereabouts of rhinos. For example in the Kruger National Park this meant no longer including rhinos on their sighting boards, for WildEarth it meant avoiding the showing of rhinos [...]
Friday 26 May After their morning antics, WE eagerly searched for the Nkuhuma pride again. WE found the cats relaxed and dozing in the afternoon sun; the cubs were playing around and chewing on sticks to alleviate their itching gums. They took their sleeping regime very seriously and save for the flick of an ear [...]
Saturday 20 May As the chilly night relented, the sunrise was welcomed on the Arathusa grasslands by the shivering WE crew. As WE were enjoying the golden sunrise, we were met with the golden gaze of the beautiful leopardess, Shadow, alert and on the lookout for potential danger or perhaps prey. Shadow’s alert outline was [...]
