This #WildlifeWednesday, we are excited to share a video of a bird close to all our hearts here at Mabula Game Lodge: the Southern Ground-Hornbill! These majestic birds, found in the savannas and woodlands of Africa, are known for their striking black plumage and vivid red facial and throat skin. Unlike most hornbills, they spend most of their time on the ground, hunting for insects, small mammals, and reptiles. These charismatic birds can live up to 50 years in the wild, making them one of the longest-lived bird species in Africa. Mabula Private Game Reserve has been home to the award-winning Mabula Ground Hornbill Project since 1999.

Did you know that cheetahs love to lie in the sun to help regulate their body temperature and soak up essential warmth after a hunt? These majestic big cats need all the energy they can get for their next high-speed chase! Check out our latest reel to see these sleek predators enjoying some sunny downtime. #WildlifeFacts #Cheetahs #WildlifeWednesday #MabulaPrivateGameReserve

Basking in the golden rays of an African autumn sun, this majestic African elephant savors the warmth and tranquility of the Mabula Private Game Reserve. Did you know that these gentle giants are highly intelligent creatures known for their strong family bonds and remarkable memories? African elephants can recognize the voices of over 100 other elephants and have been observed displaying grief and mourning behaviors for their deceased herd members. Witnessing their peaceful presence amidst the stunning natural beauty is a truly humbling experience. #MabulaReserve #AfricanElephant #WildlifeWonder #WildlifeWednesday

Watch out for flying debri!! #FunFact Elephants are the only mammals that can't jump! This is largely due to their unique skeletal structure. When elephants walk, they actually walk on their tiptoes, with a layer of fat under their heel to help absorb the impact. This walking style is both a testament to their immense size and a reason why they move so silently, despite their massive weight. #WildlifeWednesday #Elephant #Wildlife #FunFact

We could spend the entire day marveling at this magnificent male lion. His face tells a story for those willing to listen. Which part of a lion captivates you the most? #WildlifeWednesday #kingofthejungle #MabulaPrivateGameReserve

Get ready for a moonlit hippo swim! Africam caught this hippo diving back into the waterhole after popping out for dinner. Did you know that hippos can consume up to 36 kg's of grass in a single night? Despite their hefty size, they have a surprisingly selective palate, preferring tender, young grass. #WildlifeWednesday #MabulaPrivateGameReserve

Stepping straight out of a fairy tale, Africam captured a magical moment at the waterhole that's nothing short of enchanting. With the light casting a perfect glow, it appeared as though a dazzle of zebras were caught in a moment of reflection, admiring their own stripes in the mirror-like waters. A scene so serene, it reminds us of nature's effortless beauty and the spellbinding stories it weaves every day. #NatureMagic #ZebraReflection #MabulaPrivateGameReserve #Waterhole

We stumbled upon our beloved #ChristmasCubs, capturing hearts as always. One adventurous little cub attempted to stray away, but mom was having none of it. Amidst kicks and protests, she firmly escorted him back to the group. They are proving to be quite the lively bunch at the moment! #MabulaPrivateGameReserve #LionCubs

We can't get enough of the cubs, so we thought we would give you an update. That and we just have to show you these adorable moments captured on safari this morning. #WildlifeWednesday #christmascubs #MabulaPrivateGameReserve

Ah, another Monday in the dreary cubicle jungle. Wouldn't you rather be clocking in at the Mabula Office? Where 'water cooler talk' involves choosing your next leafy lunch on the savannah, rather than dodging the latest gossip about that pesky sales manager back at the office.
