Local conservationist and author Bart Logie shares his thoughts on lynx, porcupines and honey badgers and their place in conservation alongside the Big 5.

Today is World Animal Day and we wanted to celebrate with our fans by showcasing some of the lessor spotted and lessor profiled animals - maybe not all as impressive as the great African Big 5, but all just as special and beautiful nonetheless.

This photo was posted onto the Kariega Game Reserve Facebook page by Johanita Hugo and was taken at Kariega Game Reserve South Africa on a late afternoon game drive. Great shot Johanita! Caracal are shy and elusive creatures and when spotted there is hardly time to take a decent shot. Every so often however they appear comfortably and relaxed out in the open, but in this case there happened to be three of them! What a great sighting and thanks for sharing with us Johanita!  

Hey there folks, I hope you enjoyed this month of coolness and lots of rain.

May was a good month for caracals sightings again. One of our rangers – Terry – had two sightings of caracal on one drive, how lucky can one guy get?! Thank you for...

Another month gone and autumn is on its way!

We have another beautiful baby giraffe, born 23 March 2011. This photo was taken a day later, still wobbly and staying very close to mom.
