Wednesday, May 5, 2010. Kruger National Park: Interview with Kruger Field Guide. Article by Denni Raubenheimer. Photos by Yolande van Niekerk. The Kruger National Park is arguably the most prolific non-private nature reserve. In South Africa for encountering the fabled Big 5, such as the Lion. Margaux, please tell us why you got into the nature-tourism industry? It was however much later in life that I decided to take up field guiding as a career, as this was the perfect opportunity to combine my passion...

Thursday, June 10, 2010. Shakati Private Game Reserve. Article by Denni Raubenheimer. Photos by Yolande van Niekerk and Denni Raubenheimer. Shakati's largest residents are its Giraffes. When visiting keep an eye out for Red-billed Oxpeckers servicing Shakati's herbivores. Though Pied Kingfishers are most common along the Mokolo River, they sometimes inspect the waterhole. Apart from general relaxation visitors can entertain themselves by hiking, bird watching, exploring the Mokolo River on foot (enquire ...

Monday, July 5, 2010. Dullstroom Birds of Prey and Rehabilitation Centre and Raptor-friendly Rodent-control. Article and photographs by Denni Raubenheimer. This Verreaux's Eagle is one of the Centre's many feathered residents. Mark Holder, one of the owners of the Centre, was kind enough to answer some questions regarding the centre and bird-friendly rodent control methods. Mark, what do most of the birds that get brought to the Centre suffer from? How can the public contribute to the Centre’s succ...

Denni Raubenheimer: Tswaing Meteorite Crater
http://denniraubenheimer.blogspot.com/2009/11/tswaing-meteorite-crater.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. View of the Tswaing Meteorite Crater from the crater's rim. Impact, Geology and Archaeology:. The Meteorite impacted the Nebo granite of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, overturning and tilting various portions of granite. Apart from the crater and structural geology of Tswaing, rapidly deformed quartz and feldspar crystals, as well as melt-breccias formed from the granite bear witness to the colossal impact event (4). The environment within Tswaing, especially near the crater, s...

Denni Raubenheimer: Falling in love with birds
http://denniraubenheimer.blogspot.com/2010/04/falling-in-love-with-birds.html
Monday, April 19, 2010. Falling in love with birds. My wife has often teased me about the answer I gave when three years ago she asked me whether or not I like birds. My answer was basically - “No, with exception of Fish Eagles and stuff”. The irony and her reason for teasing me is that in the past year and a half or so I’ve fallen in love with them. Years ago I didn’t care much for most birds, though I did have an appreciation for eagles, such as these majestic African Fish Eagles. This White-backed Vul...

Sunday, October 11, 2009. Austen Roberts and Pretoria Botanical Gardens. Nature oases within large cities’ limits might be prone to unnatural elements, but, as is the case with the Austen Roberts Bird Sanctuary and the Pretoria National Botanical Gardens, may offer a wealth of natural beauty. And though the fauna in such havens might be aware of human activity around them, they often continue with their required daily activities as if we were not there. 1) Austen Roberts Bird Sanctuary. The birds, and ce...
