This week Kevlo have returned from Camp Savuti, located in the Savuti marsh in Chobe National Park. Kevin managed to capture an incredible shot of a male lion quenching his thirst in one of the channels. The Savuti is alive with predator activity and the area is renown for being home to lions that kill elephants. It is believed the Savuti lions have adapted and modified their hunting skills over time to kill prey much larger than their counterparts in the Kruger. Chloe and Kevin actually witnessed a ferocious lion charge in the Savute kingdom, which you can read about on their blog post.
Birding has been fantastic this week in both the Kruger and Botswana. Jochen captured a few action shots of a Southern yellow-billed hornbill and Kevin captured a beautiful image of a spur-winged goose in its natural habitat. Hippos have been in abundance and according to Kevlo, Camp Savuti has been alive with activity.
At Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp there have been plenty of bird sightings and even a black-backed jackal made an appearance.
Hope you enjoy the pictures – let’s see what next week has in store for us !
