Southern Circle-The best secret of Kruger National Park!

Visitors to South Africa’s Kruger National Park go there for a variety of reasons.

Whether it’s a self-driving safari or a guided safari, one of the main reasons is to find and take pictures of animals such as the “Super Seven”. Super Seven is the most popular animal, the one that visitors mark every Kruger camp aiming board every day-lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, sai (collectively known as the “Big Five” )) And add cheetahs and wild dogs to make up the African “Super Seven” animals.

We have been visiting Kruger National Park since 1995 and have stayed in all main camps and Bushveldas camps for 400 days to do a photo safari. During this time, I discovered the “Southern Circle,” the area between the Crocodile Bridge and the Lower Sabbie Camp on the southeastern corner of Kruger.

This area should be the most underrated throughout the park. Some people use the Crocodile Bridge gate to enter the park and allow them to reach the “real Kluger” (from Lower Sabbie to the north). In our humble opinion, the section of the road known as the “Southern Circle” must be the most consistent and productive of Super Seven sightings throughout Kruger National Park.

We have seen five large animals on four separate occasions in this area of ​​the southern circle. One day we entered the park at 06:00 and saw the Big Five by 10:00. On another occasion, I saw Big 5 (including the killing of a lion), 3 leopards, a wild dog and a cheetah (Super Seven) on the ring road in one day!

We have our own sighting board at home, plotting all of our Super 7 Kluger sightings there, and this Southern Circle has a very high concentration of sighting pins. We have marked sightings of all lions, leopards, wild dogs and cheetahs, but only large herds of buffalo, sai and elephants because these sightings are too much to fit on the map. It was.

I know; you want to know which roads these are and why this area of ​​the circle is so good for displaying the game!

Now, the southern circle consists of the H4-2 tar road and the S28 dirt road, both of which form a circle northward from the Crocodile Bridge towards Lower Sabie. There are also two short roads in this southern circle, the S130 and S137 Duke Roads.

There seems to be a combination of three elements that make this Southern Circle area rich in games.

• The area is close to two perennial rivers, so there is water available year-round (only 20 km from the southern circle Savier to the Crocodile River due to the flying crows).

• The basalt plain keeps water in the pot for a long time.And

• The area has sweetgrass, favored by zebras, buffalos, impalas and wildebeests, and these herbivores feed their predators.

So, as long as the “best game viewing route” goes, this must be number one in Kruger National Park-try it on your next Kluger Photo Safari!

Facts you need to know before putting a ferret on the cat tower

If you are like some pet owners, you may have a mixed household of pets. For pet owners who own ferrets, you may wonder if the cat tower is a safe place for ferrets to play. Another concern is whether cats and ferrets can share the same tower. Many also want to know if it’s better to buy multiple cat towers. Ferrets love to climb and enjoy finding special places to hide. They will fully enjoy the small tunnels and boxes that come as part of many cat towers. However, although ferrets are considered intelligent animals, they do not seem to fully understand their height, or more precisely, their height is too high. Due to this lack of awareness of height, it may be a good idea to buy a cat tree on the short side. Ferret owners report that the playful ferret fell out of the unit without injury. Make sure the base is fully seated to prevent it from tipping over easily. There seems to be no conflict with cats and ferrets who enjoy using the same cat tower. In fact, one owner revealed th...

Marula Fruits-African sake for wildlife, or a complete myth?

Are you familiar with the Marula tree? Otherwise, it’s a beautiful African tree that produces wonderful and delicious fruits! Apparently a delicious fruit that intoxicates elephants …? The story goes on for years … it has even become a liquor called “Amarula” for lovers (by the way, it’s very tasty like Baileys)! origin The story dates back to the 1970s (1974 to be exact). A man named Jamie Uys produced two documentaries called “Beautiful People” (he also directed “Gods Must Be Crazy”). In particular, the footage of wild animals getting drunk after eating the fruits of Marula was an immediate hit (and won the highest documentary award). Since then, millions of people are still persuaded that elephants are really intoxicated with such “powerful” fruits! The question is, is that true? Genuine information or complete fallacy? Sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately (unfortunately) (depending on how you see it ...

Basics of cat grooming

Whether you’re a new cat owner or a longtime lover of these furry bunch of little joys, some tips on grooming are invaluable to everyone. In general, cats are very pretty animals. Cats lick and bathe many times a day. This not only keeps the cat hygienic, but it also helps the cat grooming process in that it does not require frequent bathing. If your cat has short hair, you usually don’t need to brush it more than once a week. This is done gently with a wire brush first, then repeated with a rubber or mitt brush to remove dry skin and dead hair. If your cat has long hair, you may need to brush it several times a week to prevent the fur from becoming matte. So play with the cat for a while and relax before having a brush hug session with the cat. If you’ve seen the movie “Homeward Bound: The Miracle”, you know that cats generally don’t like water. Bathing time can be one of the more stressful cat grooming processes, so be sure to give your cat a gentle...
