🦋 Spot. Count. Capture.

Butterflies are more than flashes of colour drifting through the bushveld sky — they are quiet storytellers of the land. They respond to changes in climate, plant diversity, grazing, and the health of our ecosystems.

Join the SANParks Butterfly Counts in collaboration with Lepsoc Africa and help us keep a finger on the pulse of Kruger’s landscapes. Every butterfly you photograph and record adds to national and international conservation efforts, helping protect the wild spaces we treasure.

Take part: https://butterflymonitoring.africa/

Follow the instructions and submit your sightings using the monitoring apps
Together, one butterfly at a time, we can help protect the future of our ecosystems.

Proud to congratulate every farmer, farm worker, and value-chain partner whose tireless dedication has enabled South Africa to officially overtake Spain as the world’s largest exporter of citrus by volume, with 2.9 million tons exported in 2025. 🇿🇦🍊

This great achievement is one that should be celebrated by all South Africans. To overtake a citrus export giant like Spain, even by a small margin, is no easy feat. We are known for our world-class quality fruit and strict compliance with international plant health standards.

We are continuously looking for new market opportunities while working to ensure that we expand our current markets.
