Latest Sightings from Head Ranger, Johan de la Rey

Green season is in full swing in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and the game viewing has been fantastic. The rainy months in South Africa are a fantastic time to see lush landscapes, plenty of newborn wildlife and of course plenty of predator sightings.
