We are a community newspaper based in Hoedspruit, South Africa, that has its bias towards wildlife and conservation. We aim to have local, original, and relevant content that is both thought provoking and educational. We also strive to maintain a high standard of journalism.
We are in the centre of the UNESCO officially ratified, Kruger to Canyons Biosphere. Hoedspruit is generally considered to be the ‘safari capital’ of South Africa, within close proximity to the renowned and famous Kruger National Park, the Blyde River Canyon, the Timbavati, Klaserie and many other private game farms and reserves. Some of Africa’s most luxurious game lodges are also close by.
We invite you to read our publication, access previous editions, provide feedback should you wish, and hopefully we will get you to subscribe. We publish monthly, and generally release our editions on the last Friday of every month.
We hope you enjoy the read and we look forward to welcoming you to Hoedspruit, our community, and our world of wildlife and conservation.
Eskom’s proposed transmission line in Limpopo illustrates the cruel paradox of South Africa’s energy dilemma: a coal-dependent grid already fuelling climate change is now being expanded in ways that further destroy biodiversity.
The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued ongoing warnings related to a low-pressure system over southern Mozambique, which is expected to continue affecting north-eastern South Africa over the coming days.
There are books about Africa… and then there are books that take you there. Eden – Soul of Africa, the new work by photographer and storyteller Armand Grobler, falls squarely into the second category.
The dust rose in golden swirls as the convoy of vehicles wound through the warm embrace of the bushveld, sunlight bathing the bush in gold. It was as if nature itself was rejoicing. The air was alive with the sound of rhythmic drumming and joyful voices. Against a crisp blue sky, over 100 guests arrived to celebrate a long-awaited milestone in conservation: the grand reopening of the newly renovated Koru Camp.
On 8 November 2025, the community of Phalaubeni in Limpopo marked a milestone many thought impossible just a few years ago: the official launch of its community-led Eco-Tourism Office and newly established hiking trails. But the true story is not about buildings or trails – it is about a profound shift in identity and mindset.
Wasps in southern Africa span many families, from solitary hunters to social nest builders. They play a vital ecological role that extends far beyond their reputation for stinging. As highly effective predators, they naturally regulate populations of insects and other invertebrates. Many wasps also act as pollinators while visiting flowers for nectar, contributing to plant reproduction and biodiversity. Together, these functions make wasps essential to maintaining healthy and balanced ecosystems.

August is Women’s Month – so let us all take a moment to admire, thank and be grateful for all the wonderful women in our lives. They are the mothers of the earth and without them the world would be a dismal place. Happy Women’s Month to all you women out there.
