It is with great excitement that we have launched a new look Wild Web Africa website. The site is looking clean and professional, is much more user friendly and the reaction time is quicker. Please browse around the site and have a look at the image galleries, safaris on offer and read up on the brown hyaena research project.

Image Galleries
We have added a few more categories in our image galleries, with the “last added images” being the most recent. We spent a week in the beautiful city of Cape Town and surrounds — you can read my weblog or view the images in the latest images section. Each image has a title and image code and can be ordered as an fine art print on archival quality paper or canvas for you’re home or office.

Safari's
|
 |
Wild Web Africa has 3 different kind of safari experiences on offer. For the person wanting to learn more and experience the life of a wildlife researcher, join me on one of my Rietvlei brown hyaena research drives, where I will give you background about the project and we’ll go out searching for these secret scavengers. The predator workshops are the next step whereby we will spend one evening with the “brownies” on Rietvlei, and then travel to the world famous Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve to search and track the remainder of Africa’s big predators. We’ll spend 3 nights at Sabi Sabi with its luxury accommodation, mouthwatering cuisine and amazing game drives, concentrating on Africa’s big carnivores. For the first time visitor, Kruger National Park lover, birdwatcher or wildlife photographer, the 4 night Kruger Park safari is for you! We stay in 2 beautiful situated guesthouses within two of the best rest camps in the heart of the Kruger. We traverse the winding roads in an open game viewer vehicle searching for the smallest of insects to the biggest of elephants, taking time to discuss their importance in the ecosystem and photographing where ever we can. |

Research project
|
|
The Rietvlei brown hyaena research project is picking up speed and it was great news when the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) gave their full support to this project. The EWT is very interested in the cheetah’s movements on Rietvlei, and how they and the brown hyaenas are interacting on this small fenced reserve. We have also received another GSM/GPS collar from Africa Wildlife Tracking and are in the process of trying to capture a second “brownie”. The field observations have been difficult due to the extremely high rainfall Pretoria has received this past summer, with the grass growing nearly 2 meters tall in some places. We are looking forward to the upcoming winter months when the grass will become dormant and visibility will drastically improve. We also have strategically placed a camera trap on the reserve with some average results, and are still not 100% sure how big the brown hyaena population on Rietvlei is. |

The first video has been posted on the website as well as on our YouTube page and more will be posted soon. Wild Web Africa also has a Flickr page where more of our images can be viewed. You are more than welcome to join us on our Facebook page and suggest Wild Web Africa to your friends. We have a busy year ahead with upcoming safaris, continuation of the brown hyaena project and visiting some good bird watching and photographic destinations, and are looking forward sharing it all with you.
