While inspecting Wednesday’s new game licks (and surveilling the buffalo, as always), I snapped a few blue wildebeest leaving the water pan in Parys’ Savannah game reserve…

It’s cold and grey, only a few days from mid-winter, and yet they’re in great condition 😅

Those were fun-filled but meaningful learning experiences 💭

If only others understood what game reserve management really is 🙏🏼

It’s constant and consistent: fence patrols and maintenance, habitat control, fire mitigation, wildlife monitoring and documentation, planned game breeding, capture (or culling 😞 where necessary)…

It’s NOT about shooting the s**t out of random bokkies or buffs to make a few bucks, Bob!!

Adventure in Nature should alway be Educational. Highly recommended!
