The following footage was taken by top class field guide, Craig Catton in the Madikwe Game Reserve.

After following the pride of 14 lions for two days Craig and his guests were finally rewarded with what can only be described as an incredible sighting. The entire pride proceeded to fight over  a male Impala which they had caught in thick bush. As the footage clearly shows, there was a lot of competition for the meal!

I am very excited that Craig has agreed to do regular guest posts showcasing more of these sorts of sightings from the fantastic Madikwe Game Resrve.

Lions Roaring in the Madikwe Game Reserve

This is the second in our new monthly feature of wildlife videos. Lions are featured again this month, with footage of two majestic males roaring in the Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa. The Lions' repertoire of vocalisations is large and varies in intensity and pitch. Lions tend to roar in a very characteristic manner, starting with a few deep, long roars that trail off into a series of shorter ones and this is beautifully captured in this short piece of footage.

Madikwe or Pilanesberg: Which should I visit during my safari in South Africa?

First time travellers to South Africa often find themselves having to make the tough task of choosing a wildlife conservation area to visit during their stay. Pilanesberg & Madikwe are very close to one-another and often end up being two of the options that visitors are faced with. This post will hopefully help highlight the pro's and cons of each of the parks, making your decision an informed and easy one to make!
