Below is our list of the seven most dangerous animals in Africa, based on the estimated number of human fatalities they have caused. With some of these examples, exact numbers were hard to obtain since most of the attacks and resultant fatalities happen in remote parts of Africa. 7. The Desert Locusts It may surprise you to know that insects are also considered to be animals! The definition of an animal, in several dictionaries, is as follows: “a living organism characterized by voluntary movement”, so the Locust definitely fits the bill! Although they do not kill humans directly, the devastation they cause to crops has a direct effect on humans and therefore they warrant a slot in Africa’s top 7 most dangerous animals. The Desert Locust is one of about a dozen species of short-horned grasshoppers that are known to change their behaviour when prevailing conditions are good, such as after particularly good rains when larger than average crops are expected. They form enormous swarms of adults, or bands of hoppers (wingless nymphs) which spread over a vast area. The last major Locust plague occurred in the summer of 2004 in West and North Africa, when swarms migrated over the continent causing mass devastation. Large parts of Mali, Niger, Sudan and Mauritania were affected, as well as Morocco and Algeria, once the swarms reached North Africa. It was also the first time in over 50 years that Egypt, Jordan and Israel were affected. The sheer magnitude of the swarms is staggering – one swarm in Morocco, between Tarfaya and Tan-Tan was 230km long and at least 150m wide and it is estimated that it was made up of over 69 billion individual locusts. Although they form a major food resource for over 30 bird species, you need a lot

An African safari - it sounds so romantic! The mind conjures up images of wonderful African sunsets, nights around the campfire and, of course, exciting close encounters with Africa’s wildlife. You may have it all pictured in your mind, but until you have actually been on Safari for the first time you will probably be wondering how you will be spending your time each day. Before we go any further, I must just say that there is actually no such thing as a “typical” day on Safari, so our heading is a little misleading. Every time you step out of your tent or suite you will be embarking on a brand new adventure; every single excursion into the wilds holds the promise of a new and unique magical moment in Nature; every Lodge or Campsite has a different atmosphere and stunning location, making each and every Safari day different and special. Having said all that, there is a certain comforting routine to your days on safari, so for the benefit of all the first-timers, I will try to give you an idea of what to expect from your Game Drives and your Camps or Lodges. Game Drives - What Exactly Is a Game Drive For the uninitiated, I should perhaps explain what a “game drive” is! You will be taken out into the bush in a 4X4 game-viewing vehicle. Depending on whether you are on a group or private safari, this could be a large “truck” with 3 or 4 rows of seats, accommodating up to 10 people or you could be in a much smaller van for up to 6 people. (On some specialized photographic safaris the number of people per vehicle is limited to 1 person per row of seats, to provide optimum photographic opportunities). A “typical” game

Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) has been alerted after an increase of cases where of hyenas have a new overgrown appetite for buffalo testicles at the Aberdare National Park in Kenya. The hyenas, known more for their scavenger habits than hunting efforts are believed to be taking advantage of the hanging parts of the Buffaloes leading to lifetime castration or in some cases deformities of the Buffaloes at the Kenyan National Park. According to Aberdare National Park KWS Senior Warden Lilian Ajuoga, the first reported incident was recorded in 2008 but it has become a common occurrence recently. “The incidences of hyenas biting of testicles and tails of buffaloes are everyday occurrences in the National Park. Tens of buffaloes are partly deformed after hyenas chewed off some parts,” Ms Ajuoga said. She linked the incidents to lack of lions in the park, a scenario that has hampered the food chain which places hyenas in their scavenger category. A balanced food chain is vital, the officer revealed adding that it helps animals in the ecosystem balance roles. “In this case, hyenas are forced to hunt instead of scavenging on leftovers that have been left by other predators. This forces them to hunt on easily available things and since they lack the power to strangle, they depend on biting off hanging parts for survival,” she said. She noted that owing to the fact that hyenas cannot hunt, they target loose hanging parts of the animals like testicles and tails. “Hyenas literally feast on a prey when they are still alive because they cannot kill. In the National Park, hyenas target young buffalo bulls so they can strip off the ‘loose-hanging’ parts,” she says. Although hyenas are known to target other small animals in the park, the officer also linked the increasing cases to

The black leopard is an animal full of mystery. Many people have reported a few and unconfirmed short glimpses of this shadowy cat, until recently when researches from the San Diego Zoo confirmed that indeed it has been spotted and photographed. Although a handful can be found in zoo cages dotted around the world, no photographs of black leopards in their natural and wild habitat actually existed. Although there have been reports of sightings in Mpumalanga, South Africa, and another sighting by a journalist in Kenya in 2013 by the name of Phoebe Okall Kinya, who apparently took this image below at the Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya. “Your chances of seeing a black leopard are less than one in a hundred, and bearing in mind how difficult it is to see the always elusive normal leopards, it really is always mere coincidence. But that does not mean it doesn’t exist,” The black leopard, the quite opposite of albinism is called melanism and it is the result of a gene that causes a very small supply or lack of pigment in the skin or fur of an animal so that it appears black. Melanistic leopards have been reported in and around Kenya for decades, but scientific confirmation and documentation of their existence remains quite rare. Black leopard sightings go way back to the year 1952 when nature conservationist Bryan Jones, founder of the Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre near Hoedspruit in South Africa, recorded a sighting made by a child in Pilgrim’s Rest. Some individuals like in the case of Burrard Lucas and as accounted for in his blog here have dedicated the majority of their working lives trying to capture evidence of the ghostly cat. The only documented evidence which was discovered in 2017 from a 1909 photograph

1: African Wild Dogs and Domestic Dogs Cannot Interbreed African Wild Dogs Cannot be domesticated, unlike home dogs. Both species descended from wolves but they cannot be interbred. Cosmetically they might look the same and in appearance but it is not possible to produce an offspring. African Wild Dogs have long legs, four toes on each of their front feet and large, rounded ears which help them hear vocalisations from other dogs from far away. 2: Wild dogs are classified as endangered. African Wild Dogs are classified as endangered species by the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) due to the high decrease of their population. The main threat facing the Wild Dogs is habitat loss, larger predators like wild big cats and humans especially farmers who kill them including poachers who set up illegal traps and snares meant to catch them or other wild animals. Also other dogs pass on transmittable diseases to the wild dogs. 3: African Wild dogs live in tightly knit social groups Wild Dogs of Africa are social animals that live in packs of between two and 40 individuals. They share a strong bond and even take care of other injured wild dogs by nursing them and fetching food for them food until recovery or death. 4: The female wild dog can give birth to up-to 10 puppies Naturally a wild dog society is headed by, only the alpha male and dominant female that are the only ones allowed to breed while other adults help rear the pups. The average wild dog litter consists of 10 puppies and it is the highest number of any kind of the dog family (canid). 5: African Wild Dogs have the highest hunting success rate of any predator What African Wild Dogs lack in size, they make up for in the
