WE are scrambling!On Friday morning just before 01h00 CAT, a rat chewed through the fiber optic cable that connects the Gowrie waterhole to the final control. It took us a little while to figure out what had happened, and by the time WE did, it was too late for a splicing team to leave Johannesburg [...]
On this morning's game drive Rex and Simon went back to Karula's kill on Twin Dams road, not far from where WE see the Whalberg's eagles. For weeks now WE have all been wondering when we are going to see Karula's cubs. This morning Rex felt lucky. He knew they were in the area, because [...]

It’s a funny thing getting up at 4h00 am in the morning. This morning Pieter, Herman and myself got ourselves out of bed an hour earlier, in order to share an early morning drive with you (5h00 am CAT). After some coffee, quick bowl of cereal and a few silent nods (merely acknowledgements of the [...]
It’s halfway through the first month of 2009 already, but still everything feels new and full of potential!It’s also been a month since I joined the WE team and it has been quite the “eventful” introduction.
