![The ‘veld is gradually losing its lush and velvet green appearance, and the duller hues of the winter season seem to be seeping into the carpets of emerald. This week, it’s not the tawny and mottled predators in the spotlight, but rather the bovids and pachyderms. The colossal elephants and buffalo have put on quite […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/WIPChacmaGiraffegreen-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : Bovids and Pachyderms Share the Limelight")

![She’s your beacon of strength, best friend, confident, example-setter, counsellor, feeder, and she occasionally likes to lecture you (only occasionally). Who is “she”? She is the woman who plays a pivotal role in your life, be it your mother, your grandmother, a female guardian or caregiver.

![We’ve enjoyed a couple weeks of unique sightings and big cat behaviour across our Kruger camps. The central theme this week is – simply put – lions. There is a marked increase in lion sightings across the board, and guides within certain reserves are trying very hard to pinpoint the origins of splinter prides and […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/WIPSouthernPrideUmkumbe-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : Lions in the Limelight")

![Toto clearly knew a thing or two about the bursts of rain in Africa, so much so that the band wrote a song about it. Sheets of water aggressively pelt down onto heated African landscapes and inject bursts of life into withering landscapes. Those moments deserve to be sung about, and currently the Lowveld is living […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/WIPAOFWaterholes-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : Bless the Rains Down in Africa")

![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.

![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.

This spotted cat doesn’t possess the strength of lions and leopards, and is (technically) classed as a diurnal hunter.
