Week In Pictures: Kruger’s Klaserie Vs Botswana’s Okavango Delta
Our week in pictures story is normally launched on Friday but we’re ahead of the game this week. Why? Because Saturday is Valentine’s day and we have a heartwarming story[…]
![True to its name, the ancient riverbed of Deception Valley is a fossilised remnant of the great body of water it used to be thousands of years ago. Like much of the Kalahari Desert, Deception Valley is a piece of history; a history of the movements of water, the migrations of animals, and the footsteps […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/springbok-cover-haina-kevin-700x260-370x275.jpg "Classic Kalahari: Into Deception Valley")
![One predator, and one prey, yet almost evenly matched; lions and buffaloes have become renowned enemies in the wetland of the Okavango Delta. The brute force of the heavy-horned bovids, their notorious temperaments, and the fight for survival make these herbivores a dangerous target, even for lions. Highly documented by wildlife filming power couple, […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/lionmane-delta-kevinmac-370x275.jpg "Ultimate Contenders: Lions and Buffaloes of the Delta")
![It’s the beginning of a new year and it is summer in the south! The vegetation is creating jewel-coloured backdrops for some superb wildlife photography, and one finds themselves forgetting what the bush looked like only a few months ago before the precious rains arrived. Game drives begin earlier in the mornings and later in […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/jackal-afrikaecco-kevinmac-cropped-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures: Big Cats and Birds!")
![This is one of those things you would only hear about in Africa, where rumours of pet elephants and lions in the garden circulate the globe. We landed with Major Blue Air in the blissfully jolty fashion that shook us out of a mesmerised state after having flown over this epic World Heritage Site in […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/lion-delta-2-kevinmac-cropped-370x275.jpg "Hold the air traffic – there’s a lion on the airstrip!")
![It’s getting hot, hot, hot up in the African bush, and the summer rains bring added humidity to the climate. In both Botswana and the Kruger we are seeing changes in the environment, the presence of wildlife, and animal behaviour. Migratory birds continue to fleck the air with new colours and sounds; one of the […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/leopardcub-bw-angele-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures: Hyenas in the mud, and a leopard cub!")
![It’s back to the bush we go with this week’s edition of the Week in Pictures! Transported back to the nooks and crannies of Kruger and Botswana that we love so much, this collection of photographs reflects the beauty of the wild and leaves you longing for a safari! Some sad news on the Klaserie […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/lioncub-luan-nthambo-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures: One little lion cub and scenes of safari")
![Sometimes you see what you expect, sometimes something quite the opposite comes your way. While on safari with Camp Linyanti, we encountered so many elephants that we grew to expect them around every corner, but we had to stop and take a look at one particularly wrinkly old female. She didn’t have any tusks, and her […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/elephants-savuti-chloe-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures: Unexpected elephants, and more safari gold")
![One muggy afternoon on the Linyanti swamps we set off for a routine game drive. We were spending 2 weeks making our way through some of the best wildlife zones in Botswana, and game drives had become something of a marvelous habit. Guests at Camp Linyanti are led by their guides in kitted out Land […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/lionstare-campliyanti-kevinmac-370x275.png "Lions on a kill charged by elephants at Camp Linyanti")
![With such a diverse range of camps in various areas of pristine wilderness, its not surprising that the photography coming out of these areas each week is reliably great. The Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, the Sabi Sand, and the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve have produced some fantastic footage lately, and photographers Em Gatland, Kevin MacLaughlin, […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/lioness-haina-chloe-370x275.png "The Week in Pictures: The birds, the bees, and the big things.")
