Special guests - meerkat veterans watching wild meerkats / suricates from The Ungulungu meerkat / suricate group on their unique in the world tour at The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project in The Meerkat Magic Valley in Oudtshoorn, Western Cape of South Africa.
The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project brings thousands of people from around the world together to experience The Meerkat Magic and harmony of sharing space with wildlife in The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve of Oudtshoorn, Western Cape of South Africa.
Thank you to all our International Meerkat Friendly Supporters - Meerkat Veterans - Meerkat Veterans have done the walk, they can talk the talk! Elite Meerkat Veterans are regular visitors to The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project and The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve.
With your help and support over the years The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project continues to invest in conserving more wildlife and wildlife habitat in The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve.
Our visitors galleries are a visual list of our special guests watching Wild meerkats / meerkat / suricates / suricate at The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project in Oudtshoorn, Western Cape of South Africa.
If you want to be on a smaller more exclusive wild meerkat / meerkats / suricate / suricates viewing Tour, then a great time to visit is in Winter - from May to August...just bring warm clothes and a thermos flask of hot liquid, fewer guests visit each day in the off peak season for Tourism. Or you can book the entire Tour morning just for yourself for a very personalised experience.
This could be you Watching Wild and Free meerkat / meerkats / suricate / suricates at The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project in The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve on your very own wildlife Tour, in Oudtshoorn, Western Cape, South Africa!
The Wild and Free wildlife at The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project do not have hair cuts that can interfere with their heat regulation / thermoregulation, or other artificial markings that can break up their camouflage and give their location away to predators, and none of the study animals have been fitted with telemetry / transmitters / radio collars that could get caught in vegetation and make the animal more obvious to predators, and need to have the animal captured and handled for this.
The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project is a behavioural observation and applied conservation ecology open source research project, focussing on conserving wildlife habitat by investigating alternative land usage and sustainable practices in highly sensitive ecosystems. The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve is owned and run by Grant M.Mc Ilrath - A.K.A - The Meerkat Man.
This is primarily achieved through generating funds for our work by Observe and Conserve Eco- Tourism and Agri - Tourism and which assists in subsidising land owners, so that farming is no longer the only source of income in highly sensitive eco- systems that occur on our Study Sites.
With the removal of large quantities of farm stock, which can cause trampling of the environment, conservation of naturally occurring resources is sustainably achieved through zonation of properties.

The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project has chosen the Wild and Free meerkat / suricate as our main symbol, as we believe that Wild and Free meerkats / suricates are the perfect example of teamwork, being one of the most co- operative mammals on earth, and we are able to gain wisdom from nature by observing their teamwork and then applying it to all sectors of our lives!
By taking good care of themselves as individuals each Wild and Free meerkat / suricate improves the success and survival chances of all the other meerkats / suricates in the group. Each business that works together with The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project, can be seen as an individual meerkat / suricate, within a lager group of Meerkat Friendly Supporters. Everybody then benefits each other from reciprocal marketing and resource sharing networks across the world, ultimately conservation benefits from this synergy!
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
No tame or previously captured or ever released from captivity meerkats / suricates are worked with at The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project!The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project does NOT feed or protect wild meerkat / suricate populations from predation at all, and wild meerkats / suricates treat the observers here as objects that they trust due to highly selective ethical neuro linguistic programming habituation techniques that require many years to implement and constant care to maintain, this selective trust from wildlife.
This allows the collection of very accurate unbiased by the observer, data on natural wildlife behaviour. It would be unethical to interfere with the predation process, this is not a zoo environment, but a natural wild setting.
We care about humanity and wildlife working together in harmony, and we are actively making a difference through the use of sustainable alternative land usage practices, unique in the world tourism ventures, social upliftment through job creation and active Conservation Through Education!
The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project is also an Environmental Restoration Initiative, restoring a natural balance on properties by removing alien vegetation, and allowing damaged farmlands to recover from intensive farming practices by removing livestock so that wildlife that occurs naturally in these areas can survive and restore the natural balance in their environment.
This is partly achieved by generating an income for landowners through alternative sustainable land usage practices through ecotourism and wildlife research and conservation based on the Observe and Conserve principles.

Beware of Copy-Kats who claim to be the meerkat man...
BEWARE OF COPY-KATS…
Grant M. Mc Ilrath is known as The Meerkat Man and is the original not a copy-kat. Since 1993 and ongoing The Meerkat Man (a name given to him by the numerous international film crews he has worked with over decades) has been researching Wild and Free meerkat / meerkats / suricate / suricates as a professionally qualified Nature Conservationist in South Africa. Grant M. Mc Ilrath - A.K.A - The Meerkat Man has over twenty years and thousands of hours observation experience with two of the three recognised meerkat / meerkats / suricate / suricates subspecies and has numerous internationally published scientific papers and articles, radio interviews and films including ones with the BBC, National Geographic and Discovery Channel which have been aired around the world and watched by millions.
Beware of imitations...there are various non-professionals in tourism claiming to be the meerkat man or researchers to lure unsuspecting tourists into their visits even when the information they provide is not from their own professional research or their own accepted internationally published work. This can be compared to a non-professional claiming to be a doctor / lawyer etc., even though they are not qualified to do so. The qualification facts can speak for themselves.

Mc Ilrath - A.K.A - The Meerkat Man) often stare in complete wonder at the natural world around me, and often feel inspired to try and capture the essence of what I experience, by painting it in words.
This poem is dedicated to all the thousands of meerkat friendly visitors from around the world who have heard the cicada when visiting me over the years.
The following poem attempts to capture what I have experienced over many years while watching Wild and Free meerkats / suricates of The Ungulungu group in The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve of The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project around Oudtshoorn Western Cape South Africa...
The cicada is a very important and yet diminutive insect that lives in The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve - I have listened to the cicada for countless hours, and I have realised how important it is in the ecology as the equivalent of an alarm system / neighbourhood watch.
The Silent Call by Grant M. Mc Ilrath
Secretively hidden in plain sight
compound eyes shining bright
drinking and feasting on delicious plant sap
but like a hidden snare
all visitors here should beware
caught by the all-seeing eyes
in this insect alarm triggering trap.

BEWARE OF COPY-KATS…
For a partial list of Grant M. Mc Ilrath - A.K.A - The Meerkat Man's internationally published scientific work Press Here.
Grant M. Mc Ilrath is known as The Meerkat Man and is the original not a copy-kat. Since 1993 and ongoing The Meerkat Man (a name given to him by the numerous international film crews he has worked with over decades) has been researching Wild and Free meerkat / meerkats / suricate / suricates as a professionally qualified Nature Conservationist in South Africa. Grant M. Mc Ilrath - A.K.A - The Meerkat Man has over twenty years and thousands of hours observation experience with two of the three recognised meerkat / meerkats / suricate / suricates subspecies and has numerous internationally published scientific papers and articles, radio interviews and films including ones with the BBC, National Geographic and Discovery Channel which have been aired around the world and watched by millions.
Beware of imitations...there are various non-professionals in tourism claiming to be the meerkat man or researchers to lure unsuspecting tourists into their visits even when the information they provide is not from their own professional research or their own accepted internationally published work. This can be compared to a non-professional claiming to be a doctor / lawyer etc., even though they are not qualified to do so. The qualification facts can speak for themselves.
