These young Hyena cubs were incredibly curious and sniffed every car that came past. When they became a bit braver they started using their teeth, and although they look very small and cute they have very powerful jaws. 

This video was taken H1-1 about 10 km's from Pretoriuskop camp in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


This Leopard rolled himself in the grass and sand, which they commonly do the change their scent before a hunt to avoid being picked up in the wind by their potential prey. 

This video was taken on the H1-1 in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

 

The most incredible sighting of Terrapin's warming up in the sun onto of a Hippo, the Hippo seemed completely comfortable. We assume that the Terrapin's chose to sunbath on the Hippo instead of on the bank as it may be safer form predators.

This mating pair of Lions were very focused on their goal that causing a traffic jam did not even cross their mind.

This Vine Snake found a frog to eat for lunch in the middle of the Lake Panic car park. The way the snake's body crushes the frog so quickly is extremely impressive before slithering off into the bush so perfectly camouflaged to settle down for the day and let his meal digest. Vine snake's are very poisonous snakes and can be fatally harmful to humans if enough venom is injected in the bite, although there are no recorded human fatalities in South Africa due to the snake being very passive in nature. 

This video was taken at Lake Panic in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Lions are family orientated animals, they show their love for others in their pride through physical affection. Although they are very loving towards one another they can also have a feisty side and show their impatience with aggression. 

This video was taken in Tshukudu Private Game Reserve, South Africa.  

Cheetah are endangered cats in Africa. This female was hand reared successfully back into the wild by the knowledgeable and well trained staff at Tshukudu Private Game Reserve. She hunts for herself as well as gets fed by the staff if she has not eaten in a while.

This pride of Lion are well know in the Mankwe Dam area of the Pilanesberg, they are very successful ad often catch prey on the open areas surrounding the dam when antelope come to drink. 

This video was taken near Mankwe Dam in the Pilanesberg National Park, South Africa. 


A coalition of 5 big male Lions had brought down a Buffalo. The herd of Buffalo were standing near by with nervous energy wanting to chase off the Lion but Lion had already killed the Buffalo was the herd's efforts were unsuccessful. They took turns to eat as their was so much meat to eat they did not fight over it. 

This video was taken just outside of Satara Camp in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


This big male Lion smells the females urine and using the organ in this palette called the Jacobsons organ to sense if she is ready to mate. Th grimace he pull son his face allows the smell of the urine to access the organ. this video was taken in Tshukudu Private Game Reserve, South Africa. 


A pair of White Rhino mating, and 18 months later a tiny baby has entered this world. He nervously followed his mother closely although did not drink form the dam himself, he is still very small and will only be suckling milk at this stage. 

We do not specify the park that the video was taken for security purposes.


The beautiful Martial Eagle, such a big bird, preening itself in the morning sunlight. Martial Eagle's have unfortunately become endangered over the past couple of years, their feathers are used in cultural rituals and power lines pose a threat to them.

This video was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.


A coalition of three Cheetah walking along the tar road in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Water monitors favorite food are eggs, these two large monitors are searching for eggs under the river sand, one of them struck luck and found a nest.

This Tawny Eagle caught a scrub hare, it did not want to leave its prize for someone else and walked with it to cover under a bush. This video was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.


A pair of Tawny Eagles mating was a new experience for us and definitely not something you see every day. To watch the way they were calling to each to her before and after was beautiful.

This adorable mongoose family were very interested in the car which we had switched off to wait for the to come out of the long grass. Their behavior is fantastic to observe as they hardly walk anywhere, they are constantly scuttling and being busybodies. This video was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


These Hippo's were clearly annoyed with each other as they didn't take their eyes off each other for longer than 30 seconds. It was not a very aggressive fight, they could have even been sparing (practicing) rather than fighting. Entertaining none the less. This video was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.


This was a unique sighting, we watched as these Elephants trumpeted and ran as if they were terrified. We could not see what was going on at first, but later realized that they were running away from a swarm of insect which we think must have been bees. The herd ran to the nearest water hole where they covered themselves in mud and then started to calm down. Elephants are extremely scared of bees, the bees sting them when they fly up their trunks and the constant buzzing noise irritates them. This video was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


Sometimes the small things are way more interesting than the big animals. This Leopard tortoise walked from grass tuft to grass tuft to nibble on each, it is amazing how these animals only eat a small piece of the blade or plant so that it can grow back and create more food for someone else or another day. Nature is amazing! 

This video was filmed in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


This male Lion was finished eating an old Wildebeest kill when the Lioness arrived, there was very little left and she seemed hungry. The Lion insisted on annoying her while she trying to eat, eventually she turned and gave him a wack. It was fantastic to see a female Lion putting a much bigger male in his place. 

This video was taken on the the S100 in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


This male Lion, alone at first, was eating an old Wildebeest carcass, later 2 females and another male joined him. We presume that they had caught the Wildebeest the night before, ate most of it through the night and there were just a few scraps left, as we were watching this male the vultures started to hover and their numbers grew as time went past. This male Lion seemed to be having fun with the vultures while he chased them away from is meal. 

This video was taken on the S100 in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


These zebra's faught for over 20 minutes, biting at each others ankles. It was very interesting to watch as we saw 1 Zebra fight with another and then later to move on to fight with a third Zebra completely out of the blue. 

This video was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


This is definitely one of the cuter sighting we have experienced. This very young Lion cub was amusing himself by biting his mother's tail, there was a second that was lying behind is mother deeper into the little cave that she was hiding them in, but unfortunately we didn't catch both of them on video at the same time. 

This video was taken near Shingwedzi in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.


Hyena's have the most unique sounds in the wild. They cannot be mistaken for anything else. 

This video was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


These two Warthogs clearly had something worth fighting for. They kept at it for about 20 minutes until one gave up and ran into the bush, both bleeding from their necks. 

This video was taken in the Pilanesberg National Park, South Africa. 

 

We watched this Hyena clan greet each other, they have a very unusual way of greeting each other which is done every time they are away from each other for some time. 

This video was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


We watched these Elephants play in the dam as if they were experiencing their first swim. The heat of the day had obviously become too much. 

This video was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


We waited patiently for the action to start. This Brown Snake Eagle was standing on the Cobra's head, we originally thought the snake was dead. Once the Eagle stepped off the snakes head the Cobra started to moving and then the actions started. This is with out a doubt one of the best and unique sightings we have ever had. 

This video was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. 


We watched this Cheetah pant deeply after he had taken down a young Kudu and eaten part of it. It was a very hot day and this Cheetah must have taken the young Kudu down not long before we got there.
