🎬🇿🇦 EPISODE 5 PREMIERE — THIS SATURDAY ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL! 🇿🇦🎬

After several exciting days in the African bush, it’s time to slow things down and experience a different side of South Africa!

🌊 Day 5: We explore the beautiful Port Alfred, enjoying the seaside and sat down for a fresh seafood lunch right beside the ocean.

🎣 Day 6: We headed to the lake at Lakeside for a day of fishing, followed by a traditional South African Beef shank potjie prepared by Coenraad from Highland Field Company , over the fire. 🔥🥘

And as the day came to an end, we sat back at the lodge and watched wildebeest and warthog grazing peacefully around us. 🐗🦬

🌍 From the coast to the fishing waters and back to the African bushveld, this is what a South African safari is all about!

🎥 Episode 5 — EC Hunting Safaris

Set a reminder, grab a drink and join us for another episode from the African bush!

The African bush wakes up long before the sun 🌅

As the first light breaks over the horizon, theresm is a quiet that speaks louder than words. Every bird call and every rustle in the grass tells a story.
Hunting isn't just about pulling the trigger.
It's about patience, respect, and becoming part of the wilderness.

Sometimes the greatest moments come simply from sitting still, listening to the bush, and waiting for the right opportunity.

Because in Africa, the bush is always talking... if you're willing to listen. 🦌🌿 😉

The answer was... an African Elephant!

Yesterday we challenged you to guess the animal from a close up of its skin, and all of you got it right! Here's the full view of this incredible giant, photographed in the beautiful Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa, Eastern Cape.

At EC Hunting Safaris, we don't just offer hunting experiences. We also take our clients on unforgettable photo safaris to Addo, where they can experience Africa's iconic wildlife up close and capture memories that last a lifetime.

Here are a few fascinating facts about African elephants:

🐘 There are 2 distinct species in South Africa : the African bush elephant and the African forest elephant.
🐘 They consume up to 150 kg (330 pounds) of vegetation daily and can live for 60 to 70 years in the wild.
🐘 An elephant's trunk contains over 40,000 to 150,000 muscle units and is so dexterous it can pick up a single blade of grass or hold up to 8 liters of water. They can also use them as snorkels while swimming in deep water.
🐘 At about 22 months, elephants have the longest gestation period of any land animal. Calves weigh roughly 100 to 140 kg (200 to 300 pounds) at birth and can stand within 20 minutes of being born.
🐘 Elephants communicate using low-frequency rumbles that create ground vibrations. Other herd members can detect these signals miles away using specialized nerve cells in their feet.
🐘 Elephants are highly emotional and intelligent creatures. They are one of the few species that can recognize themselves in a mirror and are known to show profound grief for their dead.

Nothing beats unwinding after a long day with a good glass of whisky, a handful of spicy kudu chilli bites, and the crackle of a warm fire.

Out here, the best moments aren't rushed, they're savoured.
