WILDLIFE JOURNAL
WILDLIFE JOURNAL
The Tswalu Wildlife Journal is a quarterly update of unusual sightings, safari stories and seasonal highlights from the reserve, all recorded and written by our field guides. These seasonal journals provide virtual and highly visual insight into this fascinating part of the world – the southern Kalahari.
OUR JOURNALS
Summer 2021/2022
Another summer has come to an end on Tswalu, confirming once again that the region deserves to be referred to as the Green Kalahari. Thanks to the presence of water, it has been a season of abundance and new discoveries.
Autumn 2021
Chilly autumn evenings did not deter our guests from staying out late on night drives, braving the cold to catch all the nocturnal action. Full-day drives, walks and horse riding were also popular.
Summer 2020/2021
This was a summer to remember, as we welcomed guests back to the reserve and started guiding full time again. Summer months can be tough, due to the heat, but are also extremely rewarding.
Spring 2020
Post-lockdown safaris involved learning new procedures and health protocols, while crafting the ultimate experiences for each of our guests based on their interests. Guiding again reminded us of the privilege of calling Tswalu home.
Winter 2020
Welcome to the first Wildlife Journal, a retrospective of a winter spent mostly under lockdown. It is usually our favourite season, as we get to see and photograph the elusive creatures, like aardvark, pangolin and brown hyena.
