The Waterberg was made famous by one of South Africaâs favourite sons, the great poet Eugene Marais. The hillsides of this majestic safari area are adorned with the lovely ghost white Albizia tanganyicensis and it is from these exquisite trees that Paperbark gets its name. The Big Five and a wealth of Africaâs other animals roam the vastness of the land. There is no end to the gorgeousness of Paperbark Lodge.
Here, whether you stay at Selati Camp, Bush Lodge or Earth Lodge, each of which is utterly unique, you soon learn that Africa is a state of mind that’s timeless; enduring through yesterday, today and tomorrow. Africa is inside us all. Sharing space with the Big Five of Africa: elephant, lion, buffalo, white rhino and leopard is indeed a great privilege and witnessing a kill in the bush re-affirms Africa’s way: death and rebirth in endless cycles. With the whole cycle of mothering, birth, decay and stalking – It’s a primal experience without equal.
You can almost hear the spirit voices of yesteryear telling tales of Livingstone’s extraordinary exploits in Africa. You can almost hear the voices of old hunters discussing the marauding elephant that wouldn’t go away. Here you will find every kind of tribute to African creative talent and imagination. An exhilarating game drive and sighting the magnificent buffalo is a sight to remember for ever. You hear it before you see it. A rumble that grows to a roar. There are no words to describe the awe-inspiring sight. The mighty Victoria Falls.
Theres an old saying that goes something like this; A man is afraid three times: when he first sees a lion spoor; when he first hears a lion call; and when he first sees a lion when hes on footÂÂ. At Makenyane situated in South AfricaÂÂs north-west province, even the elephants - the real kings of the jungle respect lions. At Makenyane there is an important lion research project on the go and there is nothing like waking in the night to the call of a lion or a hyena shrieking to remind you that you are in a place of primal beauty. You watch and wonder at the gifts of Africa. Twenty seven thousand Afrikaners died in the war against the British; of those twenty two thousand were women and children. Now the animals have come back to the land around the Kruger house.
This award-winning film investigates the allegations of links between devil worship and heavy rock music. Should heavy metal music in particular carry a government health warning?
Game is plentiful here. Blue wildebeest, zebra and impala flourish on the vast grasslands. The sighting of three male cheetah at a kill leaves you spellbound. This is Africa. A cycle of life and death! The placid white rhino with their young graze peacefully in extended family groups. A breeding herd of elephant wallowing while their young engage in play play duals. Then face to face with one of evolutionâs marvels at home in her habitat, words fail you. The stately female leopard â Africaâs ultimate killer! Itâs best just to be silent and watch.
