Mapungubwe January 2025

I had the fortune in January to be invited again to guide a SANparks Honorary Rangers group in Mapungubwe, and what a difference in the park from the drought stricken scenes in November 2016 when there was not a blade of grass in the park, Now everything was lush and so overgrown in areas that you could not get through the bush.  Wildlife did not disappoint with masses of insects around everything was flourishing.  I added some nice new photos to some species, and a few new species were photographed.
