On the 1st of October, WildEarth showtimes will change. The new schedule takes advantage of the best game viewing times, keeping you connected to your favourite characters [...]
Though they are gone, they are not forgotten. The memories of some of Djuma’s iconic and heart-stealing characters live on in our hearts and the legacies they left behind. The most notable and powerful is Queen Kurhula. Queen Kurhula Originally, she was known as ‘Karula’, meaning ‘Peace’, but the correct spelling of the [...]

The week kicked off with a once in a blue moon sighting featuring no less than six of our Djuma cat characters. On a chilly Sunday morning, after a long night listening to the Avoca lions roar, we set out in the hope of finding them. As the darkness gave way to overcast skies [...]
It has been another interesting week following the lives of the big cats in both the Sabi Sands and the Masai Mara. Tingana was seen almost every day this week. He managed to scavenge two wild dogs kills, the first of which did not go unnoticed by two displeased females. Upon arriving back at [...]
It was a bumper week stuffed full of cats and hyena in both the Mara and the Sabi Sands. Why this should have been the case this week more than any other is anyone’s guess. Biology and the wilderness are always about as predictable as a roulette table. At Djuma a brief visit from [...]

The ever-peripatetic cheetah family crossed over from the west, pondering the possibility of a meal on Djuma. The cubs cajoled and frolicked while mom kept a watchful eye. Unfortunately meals seemed [...]
I’m sitting in my room sipping down on a smoothie and trying to figure out what to write for this week’s Cat Report. However I find myself getting distracted, the vervet monkeys are unimpressed with something in the distance… Then the squirrels and finally the francolins start alarming. My immediate thought is that there [...]
It is with a strange feeling of deja vu that I watch the Avoca males as they appear to establish themselves in the northern Sabi Sands. The easy peace at the beginning of the week was shattered for the Nkuhumas when the Avocas moved in and promptly divested them of their buffalo kill right [...]
As we reach the end of May, with winter fast approaching, we bear witness to the changing of the seasons. The dryness can now be seen not only in the browning grass and the falling leaves but also in the dwindling waterholes and drying muddy-wallows. We entered into this last week with the build up [...]
