In going down into the deep southwestern grasslands in search of the Birmingham Male, we encounter such a spectacular scene of sheer abundance. Zebra dazzles by the dozens, elephants, more impala than we can count, a fair few wildebeest and a large herd of about 400 buffalo all in the same area. So we halt our search for the Birmingham Male and just enjoy the scene that surrounds us. On our way out we enjoy some time with a large buffalo bull as he thoroughly enjoys his mud bath, completely caking himself in thick dark mud.
We then lend a hand to a few other rangers in the search of the Three Rivers Female and her cub, only to make use of a few trustworthy alarm calls from some monkey in the tops of the trees nearby. The Three Rivers Female and her cub amble their way down the Maxabene Riverbed, climbing a few trees and exploring on their way. Our sighting ends when they bump into what we believe to be the Maxim’s Male in some very thick vegetation.
Enjoy our Virtual Safari…
Forced into early independence at 11 months. Despite her small size, she's proven resilient, currently raising a cub in SE Londolozi.
Fairly skittish male that is presumed to have come from the Kruger National Park.

Oh Sean this was a spectacular view of all these animals together. Loved every minute use of viewing them. The little Zebra foal is so at ease walking around there. So good to see the Zebra, Impala’s, wildbeast and buffalo all in one viewing and don’t forget about the rhino. Loved the Three Rivers female and her cub. She also seems to be pretty at ease with the vehicle around her. So very glad that her cub has already made it this far, hope that it will make it to adulthood. Oh that buffalo is so enjoying himself in the mud.
Thank you so much, Valmai. It was a stunning scene with all that wildlife in one area.
What a spectacular scene of the African open grasslands in all its summer glory ….filled with so much life. The rains have been kind and the game is certainly abundant. Just wonderful ! The three rivers cub hasgrown so much and is looking so well, wonderful to share this time with mother and her cub. Super round up of the week Sean. Thank you 🙏🏻💕
Thank you so much, it was such a special week and we were blessed with some amazing scenes.
What great scenes with all the big herds of different animals in the grasslands of south-western Londolozi. Just fantastic to have so many different species more or less in one area together. The Leopardess and her cub are again such graceful and beautiful animals.
One questions: for about a week I don’t get your blogs in my E-Mail account any more. I have not changed anything in my account. Is there anything you could do about it?
Thanks!
It was so great to spend time with so many different animals all in the same area.
We sincerely apologise for the lack of emails, there has been a glitch in our system which we are rapidly working to resolve. We hope it is back up and running very soon.
That’s some amazing footage of the Three River Female and her cub. Thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful virtual safari this week Sean, from the herds of plains animals to Three Rivers female and her cub. Just sitting in the grasslands, watching the zebras, buffaloes, impalas, wildebeest, and the lone rhino, truly makes one feel they’re in the heart of the African wilderness. The star was the mud-wallowing Buffalo, who looked so content rolling in his pond.
Of course, seeing the two leopards together, traversing the road next to the vehicle is always exciting and I certainly hope that this little one makes it to independence.
BTW, my daily feed stopped arriving in my email account – server issues?
