MARCH 2026 AT MALOBA
March arrived with cooler mornings and evenings, although the days still carried plenty of heat.
Monthly tales from Maloba
Maloba is home to more than 330 species of wildlife and birds. Each month, we share a new story about the animals that call the reserve home: from cheetahs and rhinos to elusive aardvarks and rare birds of prey.
These stories go beyond sightings. They explore behaviour, conservation challenges and the unique role each species plays in the ecosystem. For guests, Wildlife Stories offer a way to stay connected to the reserve long after departure.
