Mahlangeni: Stories Of A Game Ranger’s Family by Kobie Kruger is a captivating memoir set deep within South Africa’s iconic Kruger National Park. Falling within the genre of autobiographical nature writing, this heartfelt account chronicles eleven remarkable years spent at one of the park’s most remote ranger stations, Mahlangeni. Through vivid storytelling and warm humour, Kruger invites readers into a world where wild animals roam freely, modern comforts are scarce, and adventure is part of daily life.
As the wife of a dedicated game ranger and mother to three spirited daughters, Kruger’s experiences offer a rare, intimate glimpse into bushveld family life. From hair-raising encounters with leopards and elephants to resourceful living without modern conveniences, her stories reflect both the challenges and magic of life in the African wilderness. Kruger’s deep love for nature and sharp eye for its everyday wonders shine through in every chapter, making this memoir both touching and richly atmospheric.
Ideal for readers who cherish nature writing, African travel memoirs, and stories of resilience in isolated places, Mahlangeni is a warm and insightful celebration of wild spaces, family bonds, and the unbreakable human spirit.
