		<description><![CDATA[February is the month of love, and if you look closely, you&#8217;ll see that love can be everlasting in the animal kingdom. From devoted blue crane pairs to family-oriented jackals and fiercely protective elephant shrews, you can experience the wonder of creatures that mate for life at Lalibela Wildlife Reserve. In Lalibela’s grasslands, you’ll find South Africa’s national bird, the blue crane. These elegant birds are known for their striking charcoal-blue, grey and white plumage, and males perform a dazzling courtship dance to win over females. Blue cranes typically lay two eggs and both birds share incubation duties. Once hatched, the chicks stay under their parents’ care for three to five months until they learn to fly, during which time the adults are dedicated to feeding and protecting them. Among the blue crane’s predators is the black-backed jackal, a daring and fast-footed animal that forms a partnership with a single mate. Breeding once a year, each family holds its own territory, where the young are reared and weaned. If one partner dies, the surviving jackal remains solitary until a new mate is courted and successfully integrated into the pack. So named because of their long, flexible snouts, elephant shrews, found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With limited space and a delicate balance of predator-to-prey and plant life, population control is an essential aspect of conservation in a game reserve. Lalibela Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape has implemented an effective contraceptive strategy for its lions and elephants, adding to its many conservation and community endeavours. ‘Our conservation efforts aim to meet the biological needs of the reserve while caring for the longevity and wellbeing of its animals,’ says Lalibela Conservation Manager Courtney Hicks. The implications of allowing animal populations to grow beyond their viable numbers are not to be taken lightly. ‘Overpopulation quickly leads to the depletion of prey species and the degradation of the habitat. When the numbers are no longer at a sustainable level, we have no choice but to reduce the pressure placed on the environment and other species within the reserve. Contraception allows us to maintain stability, focusing on prevention without disrupting the genetic diversity or social structures of the animals,’ says Hicks. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; Elephants are particularly dependent on complex family systems that determine their behaviour and support their wellbeing. When non-lethal methods are applied to control their numbers, these social dynamics remain intact while maintaining an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Workcations are a relatively new and still rising trend at the intersection of wellness, work, and travel. According to an article published by Forbes, working from leisure destinations not only boosts productivity, but improves well-being. It’s a way to break your routine, prioritise travel and create balance. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; Whether you’re planning a company conference or retreat, extending a family holiday with a week of remote work, or pursuing the lifestyle of a digital nomad, there are plenty of reasons to include a workcation in your annual planning. What better place to work away from home than a magnificent Big Five Game Reserve? Change up your routine, breathe in plenty of fresh air, and enjoy the luxury of having your day-to-day needs taken care of. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; ‘You may not be able to unplug completely, but when it comes to feeling rested, a little can go a long way. Simply having someone to prepare your meals, clean your space, and look after your laundry can reduce your mental load and allow you to truly relax when you’re not at your desk. The benefits of being close to nature are too many to count,’ [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This summer season has been marked by a feeling of excitement and anticipation at Lalibela Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, where the drought has broken, newborn life is being welcomed and a passionate new CEO has taken the helm. With its six magnificent lodges, unique 10 500-hectare multi-biome landscape, Big 5, vast herds of plains game, multitudes of smaller creatures and vibrant birdlife, Lalibela always treats its guests to an adventure like no other. But, while blessed with sufficient natural grasslands to allow wildlife to continue to thrive, this region of the Eastern Cape has nonetheless recently weathered a tumultuous seven-year drought which left dams, rivers and waterfalls diminished, restricting flow and forcing many reserves in the area to supplement their water supply. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; Then, in September, steady rain finally arrived, filling dams and causing rivers to flow and waterfalls to gush for the first time in many years. The water table rose to pre-drought levels, and vegetation grew to be a lush haven for the animals.  Excitingly, this welcome boom of abundant greenery coincided with the arrival of ‘baby season’ on the reserve. Traditionally, mid to late November and early December are calving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Livingbreathlessly With the role of marriage-proposal coordinator a rising trend, Molori’s experienced safari team know exactly how to make the most of – and take the pressure off – this very private commitment in the heart of the African bushveld.  Hollywood actor Miles Teller of Top Gun: Maverick fame could have popped the question to his beloved Keleigh Sperry on the pearly shores of the Seychelles, but he was determined to make this very personal promise on an African safari. With the help of the Molori Safari team in Madikwe Game Reserve, the proposal was secretly planned for after a dawn game drive, which ended up – not coincidentally – at a beautiful nature spot. There, Miles had asked the guide to tie a red rose to a tree with a tag on it bearing two dates: the date Miles and Keleigh met and the date of her last night as his girlfriend. It was the kind of proposal that’s sure to become a Teller/Sperry family legend. Everyone wants a similarly unforgettable proposal experience but not everyone is as original as Miles, or knows how to make it happen. And for young professional couples whose time is invaluable, planning these events is best left to on-site proposal coordinators. This is [...]]]></description>
