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.

Parents Mike and Glen Heramb ensured that the experience for their children was not the run-of-the-mill Kruger Park holiday every year. Instead, they would pack up their trusted Landrover and head out into the deepest parts of Botswana and Zimbabwe, days from all civilization, and expose their children to the ‘real’ African experience.
On a warm Lowveld evening, wildlife enthusiasts and conservation advocates gathered for the highly anticipated book release of Remembering Leopards, the eighth installment in the remarkable ‘Remembering Wildlife’ series. Hosted in Hoedspruit, the event celebrated the beauty of leopards captured through the lenses of talented photographers, but also aimed (together with the balance of the series) to make a significant impact on global conservation efforts.
Hello again fellow bushbabies! This month we did the inconceivable – we ordered take aways! Not something that we EVER do – but with the weather a little inclement for Hoedspruit standards (as we have come to know), we decided to give it a bash.
