The honey badger is mostly solitary, but has also been sighted in Africa to hunt in pairs during the breeding season in May. It also uses old burrows of aardvark, warthog and termite mounds.

It is a skilled digger, able to dig tunnels into hard ground in 10 minutes.
These burrows usually have only one entry, are usually only 1–3 m (3.3–9.8 ft) long with a nesting chamber that is not lined with any bedding.

The honey badger is notorious for its strength, ferocity and toughness.
It is known to savagely and fearlessly attack almost any other species when escape is impossible, reportedly even repelling much larger predators such as lion and hyena.
Bee stings, porcupine quills, and animal bites rarely penetrate their skin.
If horses, cattle, or Cape buffalos intrude upon a honey badger's burrow, it will attack them.
In Kalahari Gemsbok National Park, a honey badger was killed by a lion.
In the Cape Province it is a potential prey species of the African leopard.
African rock pythons, Nile crocodiles and spotted hyenas also prey on honey badgers occasionally.
