## Black Mambas patrol South Africa
Vongani Masingi leads the all-female anti-poaching unit through Olifants West Nature Reserve.
## Patrol area and route
The unit covers 200 square kilometres of remote bush with gravel tracks, rocky sections and asphalt roads.
## Marula fruit season
Around February, the Black Mambas monitor marula trees for elephant calves and their mothers.
## Patrol challenges
Masingi's route varies with emergencies, covering five to ten kilometres through rough terrain.
## Porsche Cayenne support
Porsche South Africa donated a second-generation Cayenne with suspension upgrades and off-road tires.
## Night patrols
The Cayenne uses thermal night-vision goggles and spotlights for night work in protected areas.
## Poaching threat
The Black Mambas search for snares and clues like discarded cigarette butts during patrols.
## Effectiveness
Masingi reports fewer wire snares and cable traps since the project began, showing effective anti-poaching work.
## Key takeaway

Black Mambas, an all-female anti-poaching unit in South Africa, use a specially modified Porsche Cayenne to patrol 200 square kilometres and combat poaching.
