Five Guides. One Calling. No Ordinary Story.
15 June 2026
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.

June is a month of outcomes. What’s been building over the past few months begins to show – in work, relationships, finances, and personal direction. This isn’t about judgement. It’s about evidence. Where you committed and followed through, there’s progress. Where you hesitated or avoided, things feel stuck or exposed. The key in June is not to react emotionally to what shows up. Treat everything as information. Results – good or bad – are simply feedback pointing you toward what needs to be adjusted. There’s power in this kind of clarity. Once you see what’s working and what isn’t, your next move becomes far more effective

This month has Valentines Day – but it has always fascinated me as to where did it originate and why?
Valentine’s Day is now synonymous with roses, chocolates and candlelit dinners. But it has roots far less polished – and far more intriguing.

Men’s sexual and reproductive health may be awkward to talk about, but there’s a need to do so.
