Bat - eared Fox
Sighted on: 08.November.2026
The afternoon drive brought us a special encounter with a female bat-eared fox, resting just beside her burrow. The highlight was watching her yawn, giving us a fascinating close-up view of her remarkably adapted teeth.
Broad jaws and numerous small, pointed teeth tell a story of specialisation. Unlike most mammals, bat-eared fox are highly adapted to feeding on insects, particularly termites, which make up the majority of their diet.
A beautiful reminder of how the Kalahari's wildlife has evolved to survive and thrive in this unique environment. In the Kalahari, even a yawn has a story to tell!

Tawny Eagle
Sighted on: 08.November.2026
Continuing with our afternoon drive, maintaining 360-degree awareness, we were rewarded with another special sighting: an eagle chick sitting alone in its nest, giving us a wonderful opportunity to observe the next generation of these magnificent raptors.
The nest was built high in a Purple-pod Terminalia tree, one of the tall, sturdy trees that provides valuable nesting and breeding sites for birds of prey.
A crucial part of looking in every direction can turn an ordinary game drive into an extraordinary wildlife experience. In the Kalahari, the more eyes, the more discoveries!
