For all of us at home, a safari and being up close and personal to some of the big five, is something we can only dream of right now.
The thrill of a game drive is never knowing what might appear around the corner and in this series of live videos, the Ranger’s will endeavour to bring the very best of safari to your sofa.

Tintswalo Safari Lodge
Tintswalo Safari Lodge has launched free virtual safaris that are available on its social media channels to all its followers.
‘The national lock-down in South Africa has been very challenging for humans, but in the bush, nature continues undisturbed as it has since the beginning of time. The conservation of our nature reserves and protection of our precious wildlife remain a priority for the Tintswalo family. Within the greater Kruger region, the Tintswalo wildlife management team in the Manyeleti Nature Reserve is ‘on the beat’ in the bush throughout lockdown and continues to monitor and safeguard our vulnerable fauna and flora.’
Says Lisa Goosen, CEO of Tintswalo
Tintswalo’s conservation patrols have presented the unique opportunity to bring virtual safaris to viewers at home.
‘We invite you to enjoy the freedom to escape for a while, focus on positivity and take delight in the wonders of the African bush as inspiration for planning your next Tintswalo safari’,
says Lisa Goosen.
The game rich Manyeleti Game Reserve is known world-wide for its Big 5 sightings, but also for its birdlife and many smaller species and other interesting creatures.
Tintswalo’s ‘On the Beat’ virtual safaris include video footage of actual sightings, as well as some of the exhilarating encounters experienced by its game rangers on patrol. Videos are uploaded daily on all Tintswalo’s social media channels.
Ulusaba Private Game Reserve in the Sabi Sand
Ulusaba’s Rangers and Trackers are some of the very best in the world and while life as they know it might not be entirely normal for them right now, the welfare of the wildlife in the reserve is still their number one priority. Observing, protecting and researching the daily habits of the reserve’s wildlife is still as much a part of their daily routine and they want to share these experiences with the world.
