Carte Blanche

Nature up close

28 February
The Carte Blanche team encountered one of the rarest sights the Kruger National Park has to offer - the legendary Izulwini (Heaven in Zulu), one of the last big tuskers roaming in the wild. These elephant bulls flaunt their 3-metre-long tusks, and there is only a handful left. Izulwini was in musth and you could smell the distinct aroma from 100 metres away - he was following a female elephant who was ready to mate. Masa encounters an elephant herd, and witnesses a truly special moment between a mother and her calf.
