![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")

![We blame playwright and literary genius Hemingway for the bad press bestowed upon spotted hyenas.

![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.
