Gumpy proudly agrees with this statement. 🀣

One of our wild dogs thoroughly enjoying the leftovers! 🐾

Often overlooked, but easily one of the most fascinating animals in the bush. Intelligent, resilient, and always full of character, it's impossible not to admire these incredible canines.

Guide Eddie took these beautiful photos of the cubs chasing the lure.

Cheetahs are built for speed and have flexible spines which stretch and contract to allow their legs to extend and bunch together for maximum stride. They can reach a top speed of around 110 - 120 km (70 - 75 miles) per hour - but they tire easily after a sprint.

Even rhinos get the itchy’s and the scratchy’s 🦏✨

Despite the fact that they have thick skin, it is still quite sensitive. Plus, they love a post-mud bath scratch. πŸ’›

πŸ¦… The Importance of vultures 🌿

Vultures are nature’s clean-up crew, quickly consuming carcasses and helping prevent the spread of disease 🧬✨

By doing so, they play a vital role in keeping ecosystems healthy and protecting both wildlife and human health πŸ’š
