![“He was first spotted on Olifants main during August last year. We were avidly tracking the Kudyela lionesses, and their movements must have startled this young leopard. The cub very quickly bolted up an apple leaf tree, and the lions never caught wind of the situation.

![A new week has breezed past our well-worn Week in Pictures path. I feel that we weren’t given much warning that yet another Tuesday was fast approaching. The past week, we’ve been fumbling around in the dark, thanks to a few government-issued power cuts. Unfortunately, our provider (Eskom) hasn’t realised that we’re not big cat […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WIPEZLeopardCubs-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pics : Let There be Light..Footed Cats")
![For the “Week in Pictures” this week we’ve decided to showcase images that fit into either the minimalist or monochromatic category. These unique and varied images make us look at life in the bushveld with new eyes. Our photographer’s seek to capture different perspectives when it comes to images, and we’re pretty impressed with the results. We’ve furnished you […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WIPAOFLeopards-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : Minimalist and Monochromatic")
![We’ve been a bit delayed with our launch of this week’s “Week in Pictures”, but we’re sure our photographer’s mesmerising images will more than make up for our tardiness. Yet again we’ve enjoyed a veritable feast of sightings. From leopard kills to herbivores gorging on greens, and lion cubs practicing their take-down techniques; we’ve witnessed […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WIPNwetiUmkumbe-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : A Feast for Your Eyes")
![The rains have arrived! The Lowveld’s already flourishing landscape was treated to drinks courtesy of the water-laden storm clouds. The clouds were threatening to unleash their open-bar attitude and throw liquid at all terrestrial creatures. The storm clouds eventually declared open-bar and released their rains. When the rains hit, you can smell the bushveld, feel […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/WIPChacmaLions-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : A Mixology of Sightings")
![This Valentine’s Day, we’d like to extend our love to all and sundry. We’ve jumped on the “we heart you” bandwagon, and have decided to share a few images from recent romance shoots at two of our camps – Ezulwini Game Lodges and Africa on Foot. Valentine’s Day is a mass-marketed day of celebration that […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Valentines-Day-Klaserie-Traverse-370x275.jpg "Cupid in Camp on Valentine’s Day.

![We trust that you’ll forgive us for not delivering last week’s edition of the Week in Pictures. Today we’ll make it up to you with images of sunsets smouldering on the horizon, stolen moments with voracious predators, colossal and commanding giant herbivores, and vain plains game zigzagging across the verdant emerald landscapes. We’re still in […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/WIPHippoEZ-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : Elephants Gorge on Marula Fruits")
![We blame playwright and literary genius Hemingway for the bad press bestowed upon spotted hyenas. His unfounded fear and clear disregard for our unique crocuta crocuta species deserves more than a few eye rolls from our side. It’s not only that hyenas were branded shameful demonic beasts in the classics, but in African and Persian folklore […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/EzulwiniHyenas-370x275.jpg "Hold on Hemingway, Take a Step Back Disney !

![A couple of years ago the dominant Mohlabetsi coalition ruled their land with aggressive power. Various male coalitions refused to challenge the 6 broad-shouldered beasts, and retreated quickly when confronted. The Machatons proved to be serious contenders for the kingdom, and certainly fought for the territory they so desperately wanted. After a time of helter-skelter, scuffles and […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/EZMaleLionsBalule-370x275.jpg "The Strapping Machaton Lions of Ezulwini Game Lodges")
![The safari industry refers to the summer season in Kruger as “emerald season”, and for good reason. When the rains pelt down and smother the dry landscape with water, the bushveld awakens from its drab slumber. Those bland branches give birth to plush greenery, and migrant birds flock to the region for its ample supply […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/WIPChacmaWildDogs-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : Avian Delights, Big Cat Carnivals, and Lush Landscapes")
