Wildlife Captured Around Our Villas

Over the years, more than 600 wildlife photos and videos have been captured around Villa Yingwe, Villa Mangwa and their private waterholes.
Some moments are so unique that they deserve to be shared.

Aardvark at the Waterhole

One of our most unusual wildlife visitors

Aardvarks are among the most elusive animals in Southern Africa and are rarely seen, even by experienced safari travellers. This aardvark was captured on one of our wildlife cameras...

A Day at the Waterhole

Wildlife activity changes throughout the day and night. This compilation shows just one day at one of our private waterholes, where different species visited over a 24-hour period.

Elephant Encounters

A close encounter at Villa Mangwa

Elephants regularly visit our private waterholes. In this footage, a small herd passes just a few metres from the camera, giving a unique close-up view of these magnificent animals.

Hyena at the Waterhole

A regular visitor after dark

Spotted hyenas are frequent visitors to our private waterholes. This individual was captured at the private waterhole near Villa Yingwe, calmly drinking and exploring the area around the waterhole.

Leopard and Porcupine

Two very different visitors at the same waterhole

Wildlife cameras often capture unexpected moments. In this footage, both a leopard and a Cape porcupine visit the same private waterhole, showing the remarkable diversity of wildlife around Villa Yingwe and Villa Mangwa.
