A glimpse into the prehistoric era of Abelana

From the basalt rocks forming 3 billion years ago, to the 2,000 year old koppies, indigenous people along with Portuguese and Arab explorers started smelting iron from the basalt and the iron-rich magnatite more than 500 years ago. We saw the evidence of their work in the form of “slag”: a waste product from smelting.

Termite mounds across the reserve, some c. 1000 years old, have been continuously used for firing clay to make pottery- leftover shards of which we were able to see.

Archaeologists have also found here 400,000 years old stone cutting tools used by an ancient hominid species.

A beautiful afternoon spent discovering insights into the history of Abelana ✨

Due to January flooding, our lions resorted to using manmade infrastructure to avoid getting their feet wet! Watch til the end and volume up for some lion cub vocalisation 🤍🦁

One of the small birds that brings a flash of colour to the bush: The White-bellied Sunbird (Cinnyris talatala) 🐦✨

Usually found in woodland and similar habitats, this little bird feeds mainly on nectar, but also on small insects. Like many sunbirds, it plays an important role in the ecosystem while moving quickly between flowers and vegetation.

Small, active, and easy to miss, it is exactly the kind of sighting that reminds you to slow down and notice the finer details of the bush. 🌿

Would you have recognised it in the wild?
