Unique Leopard, brown Hyena and Aardvark Research

Timbo Afrika has funded and established an accredited PhD level field study, focusing on the ecology of leopards, Aardvark and hyenas of the Tuli. This includes the highly endangered Kalahari icon, the brown hyena. We invite our guests to participate in monitoring activities and field observations.

The research carried out at Koro River Camp is unique in the fact that it is conducted in a dynamic, forever changing and carnivore rich open system. With an abundance of resident leopard, spotted hyena and brown hyena, returning lions and cross-border nomadic packs of wild dogs it is an exciting area.

Leopard and brown hyena identification and distribution

Based on a camera trap survey we identify individual animals in the area, to work out densities and territory maps. Every leopard has its unique spot pattern so based on camera trap photos it is relatively easy to identify these cats. Brown hyena can be identified by unique stripe patterns on their legs as well as bite marks or tears on the ears.

Leopard movement and dispersal

We have presently permission to collar some of the leopards we have in the area to provide more accurate information of the movement, distribution, habitat use and feeding patterns of the leopards, as well as the interaction behaviour with both spotted and brown hyena.

Turtle Research

As our beaches in Mozambique are home to the great Loggerhead and Leatherback turtles who nest and hatch, we are active participants in monitoring their nests and hatchlings. You can visit us and learn all about them and if you’re lucky you might see them swimming in the surf!
