  • Conservation
    conservation In pursuit of our 100 year purpose our commitment to conservation 25 years ago, on a piece of family-owned land in South Africa’s Sabi Sand Game Reserve, a boutique safari lodge opened on the banks of the Sand River, setting the pace for a new brand of luxury safari experiences. Singita Ebony Lodge would become the first of 12 environmentally sensitive properties dotted across Africa, forming the heartbeat of Singita’s conservation vision. The lodge created a benchmark for sustainable and eco-friendly tourism that remains to this day; a model which combines hospitality with an amazing wilderness experience to support the conservation of natural ecosystems. This founding philosophy drives every aspect of Singita’s day-to-day operations, as well as its vision for the future, which extends to the next 100 years and beyond. A single-minded purpose to preserve and protect large areas of African wilderness for future generations is the force behind an ambitious expansion strategy that will see Singita broaden its efforts to safeguard the continent’s most vulnerable species and their natural habitats in the coming years. The profound impact of Singita’s conservation work can be seen in the transformation of the land under its care, the thriving biodiversity of each reserve and concession, and the exceptional safari experience this affords our guests. With our lodges and camps across three countries partially funding the conservation of large areas of protected land, Singita has redefined luxury safaris as an essential tool for conservation contents Sustainability – operating in an environmentally conscious way at every level of the business – is a key component of conservation success, alongside maintaining the integrity of our reserves and their ecosystems, and working with local communities to ensure that they not only benefit from the existence of the lodges, but thrive because of them.

    Africa Geographic Publisher & safari company Wildlife . People . Travel Issue 212 In This Issue ▼ 20 Jul 2018 THE STORY OF A LEOPARD POPULATION THAT BEATS THE ODDS by Simon Espley & The Cape Leopard Trust Friday, 20 July 2018 he Cape leopard is the stuff of legends. This seldom seen, highly elusive apex predator survives in some of the most inhospitable habitat possible – the rugged, low nutritional fynbos biome of the Cape Fold Mountain T ranges. Despite the habitat limitations, this region did historically host many wildlife species such as black rhino, Cape mountain zebra, bontebok, Cape buffalo, hippopotamus, elephant, spotted hyena, brown hyena and wild dog – all of which now only occur in some fenced private and national game reserves in the Cape. The Cape lion, quagga and bluebuck also occurred in the area, but are now extinct. The arrival of permanent European settlers signalled the death knell for these species in the wild, and 365 years later, the pressure has escalated. And yet the Cape leopard is hanging in there. And they do so with other hardy survivors such as African wildcat, chacma baboon, caracal (rooikat), Cape clawless otter, Cape fox, large- spotted genet, striped polecat, honey badger and several antelope species. So, what is the Cape leopard’s secret? How does the Cape’s apex predator escape local extinction? In a nutshell, Cape leopards continue to survive because they are adaptive to change, opportunistic about food sources and because of the vastness of their home ranges.

  • Singita Sabi Sand Wildlife Report
    Singita Sabi Sand Ebony & Boulders Lodges Castleton House South Africa Wildlife Report For the month of November, Two Thousand and Fourteen Temperature Rainfall Recorded Average minimum: 18.2˚C (64.7˚F) For the period: 51 mm Average maximum: 33.1˚C (91.5˚F) For the year to date: 110.5 mm Minimum recorded: 11.0˚C (51.8˚F) Maximum recorded: 41.0˚C (105.8˚F) Glorious summer Article by Ross Couper With our heightened lookout for young impalas over the last month, it’s been hard not to notice all the other young around at this time of the year. A friendly wager amongst the guides as to when this season's first newborn impala would be seen had us all waiting in anticipation to spot a long-legged youngster and call it in over the radio. This year’s winner was Dylan – the lucky date was 4 November 2014. Lambing time has meant that impalas have had more human attention than usual during game drives, with very pregnant impalas moving off on their own and newborn lambs struggling to stand or wobbling on their stilt-like legs. There are lots of "ooohs" and "aaahs" being whispered during the game drives. The softer side of the guides is noticeable as well, as we study the little creatures with our binoculars and announcing we have seen an umbilical cord or reporting that the young are allogrooming (mutual grooming) each other already. As the temperatures have increased we've noticed the larger species like elephant and buffalo spending more time at the waterholes, packing their bodies with mud to avoid flies and to rid themselves of ticks in the process.

  • AC30 Doc. 15 A3
    Leopard Quota Review: South Africa 1. History and rationale of leopard export quota The leopard export quota was originally introduced at the fourth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES (Gaborone, 1983) with Resolution Conf. 4.13, and at CoP7 (Lausanne, 1989) an export quota of 50 leopard hunting trophies and skins for personal use was recommended for South Africa. This was subsequently increased to 75 at CoP8 (Kyoto, 1992). A Population and Habitat Viability Analysis (PHVA) informed the increase in South Africa’s export quota for leopard hunting trophies and skins for personal use at CoP13 (Bangkok, 2004), to 150, as contained in Resolution Conf. 10.14 (Rev. CoP16). Model scenarios tested in the PHVA, ranging from 0 to150 leopard hunted, showed that an increase in the export quota from 75 to 150 did not increase the risk of extinction of the national population within a time period of 100 years, though a reduction in the size of the population from 93% to 64% of the carrying capacity was predicted along with possible local extinctions. 2. Principles In reviewing the leopard export quota for South Africa, the following principles are deemed to be important: 1. Management and conservation of leopard in South Africa is underpinned by the sustainable use paradigm. 2. South Africa has adopted an adaptive management framework for the management and utilization of leopard. 3. Monitoring is a crucial component of an adaptive management framework and the involvement of stakeholders in monitoring the resource base should be encouraged. 4. Management and utilization of leopard in South Africa should be underpinned by robust science.

    Harry Kirkman Walter Henry (Harry) Kirkman was born in the Steytlerville District of the Eastern Cape on 31 st March 1899. He illegitimately joined up with the armed forces at the age of 15 and served in the East African campaign. After the war he took over the management of the T.C.L. cattle Ranch on the Sabie River (now the Sabi-Sand Game Reserve). He took over duties in 1927 from his friend Bert Tomlinson who left this position to become a Ranger in the Kruger National Park. Many of the duties of this position such as predator control, fire management and anti-poaching, were similar to those of a Ranger and in 1933 he followed his friend Bert Tomlinson into service with National Parks. Initially Col. James Stevenson-Hamilton in a clerical position, which was not much to his liking, employed him but he accepted the job as it gave him a foot in National Parks. In 1935 he was appointed to a Ranger’s position and was given the Sabi Section of the Park. Given his new status, he promptly married Ruby Cass. During this time, Harry followed up on reports of Black Rhino in the Gommondwane area of the KNP and found tracks, but could not get to see this animal. He was thus the last person to record this species in KNP as thereafter Black rhinos were not recorded again as they had become extinct. In 1938 Harry was moved to a new Ranger’s Section. This became known as Shangoni and he was instrumental in its development.

With the first rains for the summer season revitalising the dry dusty land, some of the smaller creatures are prompted into action. The loud raucous calls from frogs and toads accompanied by the chirping of European bee-eaters are a welcomed addition to the bushveld orchestra. With the Sand River almost completely dried up, we’ve witnessed an array of storks dominating the miniature pools, lapping up the opportunity to catch an easy meal. Predators such as leopards and lions have also been seen utilising the riverine area, hoping to catch an unsuspecting impala or nyala. The expression “keep your friends close, your enemies closer” could not be truer right now. Here’s a Sightings Snapshot for October: Lions • Many water sources have now dried up, including a large part of the Sand River. The sound of water flowing is minimal and the pools and dams of valuable water sources have become invaluable. We’ve watched predators such as lions taking full advantage of these places. The Ottawa pride in particular have used the shade of the reeds and bushwillows to lie in during the day, waiting for the inevitable arrival of water dependant antelope and buffalo to arrive.
