World Wildlife Day

Mar 3, 20200 comments

The 3rd March is World Wildlife Day - an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora.

World Wildlife Day was proclaimed by the United Nations on the 20th December 2013. It falls on the 3rd of March, the same day where back in 1973, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) was founded. World Wildlife Day is a day to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants and the multitude of benefits that their conservation provides to people.

To celebrate this day, Southern Camp Ranger Mike Brown shared a few of his personal wildlife photographs taken on Kapama Private Game Reserve in 2019.

Rosettes vs Spots

I turned around as quickly as I could and went to fetch my guests. They were incredibly excited, rushed off to get their cameras and jumped back onto the vehicle. When we got to the sighting and even though we knew what had happened, we couldn’t believe our eyes.

50% Luck, 50% Skill

This was a great sign, as impala and other animals alike will give off an alarm call when they see a predator. I told my guests "brace yourselves folks", we picked up our game drive speed...
