Serval

The Silent Hunter of the Grasslands

The Serval is instantly recognised by its long legs, oversized ears and striking golden coat covered with bold black spots and stripes.

Preferring tall grasslands, wetlands and lightly wooded areas, Servals rely on exceptional hearing to detect rodents, birds and other small prey hidden beneath the vegetation. Their incredible vertical leap allows them to catch birds in flight and makes them one of Africa's most effective small hunters.

Rarely seen during daylight, Servals are among the continent's most elusive predators, making every encounter a truly memorable safari experience.

For wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike, spotting a Serval is considered a special highlight of any African adventure.
