The Wildlife Corridor Connecting Mthimkulu to the Greater Kruger
Sep 18, 2026 · original
Managing land that doesn’t stop at a fence line Mthimkulu Game Reserve sits within the Greater Kruger National Park, 6500 hectares of bushveld bordering the wider Kruger ecosystem. The reserve is currently undergoing ecological restoration : work aimed at reversing years of poaching pressure, overgrazing, and unmanaged land use, and rebuilding it as a functioning part of the landscape around it. That connection to Kruger isn’t just geographic. Mthimkulu forms part of a wildlife corridor that lets animals move freely between reserves, and that connectivity shapes almost every decision about how the land is managed. We asked Anna Knowles, one of the scientists leading our research at Mthimkulu, to explain what a wildlife corridor actually means in practice, and what it takes to manage a reserve that doesn’t have hard edges.

The field work, the baseline data, and the long timeline of ecological change At Mthimkulu Game Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park, we run a wildlife conservation and ecological restoration program working to bring the land back to where it once thrived. Anna Knowles is one of the scientists leading that work. We spoke to her about how the project actually works on the ground and what the team is working toward. Images by Linda Hermans On the ground at Mthimkulu “We have a multi-faceted approach that combines practical conservation work with ongoing monitoring and research. This includes habitat restoration and maintenance, snare removal, camera trapping, wildlife and vegetation monitoring, bird surveys, elephant impact assessments, carnivore distribution monitoring and using different technologies available to us to understand what is happening across the reserve. The dif
Freeing a Snared Elephant at Mthimkulu
Sep 1, 2026 · original
How two months of searching ended in a rescue At our wildlife research base on Mthimkulu Private Game Reserve, in the Greater Kruger National Park, our team spotted a bull elephant with a wire snare embedded in his foot, after tracking the animal for almost two months. What followed was a day-long search, a race against fading light, and a joint operation between four organisations that ended with the snare removed and the wound treated. Images by Barry Mitchell and Jason Kipling A Wound Two Months in the Making On Saturday 29 August, we received the report conservation teams at Mthimkulu had been waiting for: the bull had been sighted. He’d been spotted before, wire snare embedded around his back left foot, an injury that only gets worse the longer it goes untreated. As the elephant moves, the wire tightens and cuts deeper, and left alone, the consequences can be fatal. Our staff and vo
