Wild Wake-Up – Jackals, Buffalo, and a Bold Lizard Steal the Show – Get your daily dose of wildlife wonder on SafariLIVE Sunset Today (Live Feed Begins in 20 Minutes)

Nature never hits snooze. While most of us are still wiping the sleep from our eyes, the wild world is already wide awake—and putting on a show. At Sustainable Action Now, we’re thrilled to bring you closer to these magical moments through our immersive virtual safari experiences.

This morning’s virtual adventure with Kerri and B’kay at Mabula Private Game Reserve gave us a front-row seat to life in the African bush—a powerful reminder of why wild spaces matter and why protecting them is so vital.

🐶 Nature’s Pillow: A Jackal Pup’s Unexpected Nap Spot

The scene opened with a moment of pure wilderness charm: a young jackal pup curled up on a pile of rhino dung. Strange? Maybe. Adorable and clever? Absolutely.

This natural “pillow” isn’t just warm and comfy—it’s a perfect example of how animals in the wild use their environment in creative, resourceful ways. Rhino dung holds heat after cool nights and is rich with smells that may help camouflage the pup from predators. It’s a masterclass in eco-adaptability, straight from the African savanna.


🦎 Enter the Lizard with Attitude

As the sun peeked through the clouds following a night of refreshing summer rains, the spotlight shifted to a water monitor lizard, emerging from the underbrush with all the confidence of a seasoned rockstar.

With glinting eyes, dagger-like claws, and a swagger that screamed “boss of the bush,” this monitor took its time soaking up the sun’s warmth. Monitors are some of Africa’s most fascinating reptiles—cunning, opportunistic, and not shy about showing off their survival skills.

This bold display was a reminder that even the “smaller” stars of the savanna have stories worth watching—and protecting.

🐃 Meanwhile, on the Buffalo Highway…

Of course, no safari is complete without a buffalo roadblock—and this morning did not disappoint. A herd of cape buffalo trudged through the mist, horns glistening and eyes sharp, embodying the raw power and unity that defines these iconic giants.

As the camera panned across the landscape, viewers witnessed the incredible biodiversity of Mabula—from towering giraffes in the distance to the subtle shimmer of birds drying their wings after the rain. It’s these layers of life, interacting in real-time, that make virtual safaris like this one an unparalleled window into the wild.
