Khamai Reptile Centre - South Africa Travel Channel 24
Khamai is an old Greek word meaning Chameleon which essentially means little lion. These completely harmless reptiles are feared by many inhabitants of Africa. This unreasonable fear also exists with snakes yet most snakes are themselves also totally harmless. The Khamai Reptile Centre has a dedicated team that works at saving reptiles by all means possible. We believe that education is a powerful tool that should play a major role in conservation.

The Ultimate Top 3 Most Venomous Snakes Of Africa!! Black Mambas, Cobras & More!!
Have a go at the TOP 3 most venomous snakes of Africa up close & personal with reptile expert LB! In this Episode LB goes eye to eye with crazy Cobras, Black Mambas and much more!!
There are about 3,000 species of snakes on our planet but only a small amount of those are actually venomous. And out of those that are venomous only a very few are venomous enough to kill a person.
In this Episode of Strike LB will show you the TOP 3 of the most venomous snakes in all of Africa which are all able to kill us easyly with just a single drop of venom or even less than that:
The third most venomous snake in Africa is called the Cape Cobra (Naja nivea) and is highly neurotoxic so it’s the same venom typw as that of the Black Mamba.
Neurotoxic venom means that it is a nerve effecting venom and victims will die due to respiratory failure usually within 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Number two goes to the infamous Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) which happens to be the second longest venomous snake on the planet, only second after the King Cobra from Asia. It can get to about 4 meters in length - but remember: reptiles never stop growing and always keep growing until death comes. But the rate with which they grow actually slows down significantly as they grow bigger.
And from there they also grow according to the weather conditions and according to how much food they get. If they feed often they grow fast, if they only eat like once in a year they likely won’t grow at all. The Black Mambas you see LB handle here in this video are 25 years old but „only“ about 2.7 meters in length wich is nonetheless a good average size for Black Mambas.
And then the most venomous snake in all of Africa is the Boomslang (Dispholidus typus)!
One drop of it’s venom is enough to kill 25 grown adult humans!! To put that into perspective the Black Mamba is „only“ able to kill between 2 and 4 adult humans with one drop of it’s venom!!
The Boomslang has a haemotoxic venom, which is blood effecting.
Symptoms from a bite will be bleeding from eyes, nose, mouth and severe internal bleedings which will lead to death if untreated.
Luckily for us there is a good monovalent antivenom available and we have up to 7 days until we die as it is a very slow acting venom on humans.
You can see all of these snakes and of course many more live and in person at the Kinyonga Reptile Center in Hoedspruit, South Africa!

African Impact's Volunteer Projects in the Greater Kruger, South Africa
Volunteers on our South Africa conservation project are based in the Greater Kruger region, on a private game reserve in the middle of the bush.
With 4 separate volunteer projects to choose, volunteers can opt to join our Big 5 Wildlife Research and Conservation project, the Leopard and Predator Research program, a wildlife photography initiative and even a combo project where they can contribute to wildlife research while working closely with youth in nearby communities. Each of these projects come together to contribute to the project's overall goal of protecting animals through the conservation of land and wildlife and the involvement and education of local communities.
Our mission at African Impact is to maximise the positive force of volunteering through responsible management, education, strong partnerships and a passion for making a difference, while making sure our volunteers have a fun and rewarding adventure with us. We truly believe that volunteering has the power to change lives; we've seen it first-hand. We hope this video inspires you as much as it did us!

RESCUED BIG CATS OF AFRICA - A MUST SEE!
Jump to 5:49 for the best of the Big Cats of Moholoholo and to hear the lions ROAR!
After leaving Kruger National Park, we visited the Kinyonga Reptile Center & Moholoholo Animal Rescue Center.
It was a fascinating experience learning about the rescue cats and how they use them to teach the locals and tourists more about them... and why they shouldn't trap such amazing creatures.
We hope you enjoy the video and learn something new about African wildlife and how we can help preserve it for the future :)
Check back in a couple days for our vlog on visiting Blyde River Canyon and the incredible natural sights in the Blyde area!
