Week in Pics : Gliding into the Long Weekend
Like a hungry vulture gliding through the skies, we’re gliding into the long weekend. Monday is an internationally celebrated public holiday known as Worker’s Day or May Day, which means our short[…]
![Yesterday morning we were woken up by the territorial calls of unknown male lions, and this morning began with tracking the paw prints of a leopard! Greg and Kevin put their heads together and followed the tracks into the bush where Bundu had been spotted the night before. Scouring the ground for signs of the […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/DSC_7379-370x275.jpg "Ross Dam and Bundu: Leopards on a Kill")
![Interesting lion dynamics have hit the Klaserie recently, and this morning was no different! While Africa on Foot guests were out navigating the bush on their morning walking safari with Greg, nThambo Tree Camp guests were trundling through the bush on their game drive, and resident photographer, Kevin, was editing footage in his safari studio.

![The prevalence of leopards within the Sabi Sand is a well-documented subject and eager safari-goers flock to the reserve to seek out this mysterious rosette patterned cat. The abundance of drainage lines, access to prey, water sources, and a varied habitat provides the perfect breeding and hunting grounds for leopards. The Sabi Sand, sharing unfenced […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Tatowa1-370x275.jpg "Leopard and Hyenas : A Toxic Friendship")
![Solid gold could describe the rich ambers and apricots of the sunsets and the sunrises of the bush, or the immeasurable value of the safari offerings in the secret corners of the Kruger Park and northern Botswana. Solid gold is an expression used to describe the best of the best, the most treasured, the most precious.

![We are in the quarter-year holiday phase (already!) and it looks like the bush is in as high spirits as we are about it. The long Easter weekend produced some serious excitement, and game drives at nThambo Tree Camp and Africa on Foot were filled with mud-loving elephants, sneaking leopards, sister lionesses, sunlit buffalo herds, and […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/DSC_6650-370x275.jpg "Top Safari Sightings at Africa on Foot and nThambo")
![Mark Morrison’s 1996 hit single “Return of the Mack” is a fitting background song for this blog post. When Nadia Bester from Umkumbe Safari Lodge animatedly told us that Mxabene the male leopard had returned to hallowed ground, we rejoiced with excitement. Max is a firm favourite on the Umkumbe traverse and is often spotted a […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/MaxKill3-370x275.jpg "Umkumbe Leopard Update : (Return of the Max) Once Again")
![Our lion sightings in the Kwatale Concession appear to be snowballing, and our tawny beasts are no longer wanting to remain hidden in the dense shrubbery surrounding Tuskers Bush Camp. Their behaviour is so brazen at the moment that they feel no shame in mating right out in the open, in front of the game […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/TuskersMaleLionSideProfile-370x275.jpg "Kwatale Concession : Tuskers Bush Camp Lions Caught in the Act!")
![The long weekend is approaching and there are many of us looking forward to the well-earned break. If you’re celebrating Easter, then consider these images a gift from the Easter bunny. If you’re not celebrating Easter, then consider this a visual and virtual gift to be enjoyed over the long weekend.

![Long eyelashes hover over soulful eyes like a much needed hat on a hot summer’s day. Awkward bodies with knobbly joints tower over the landscape below. Brown cobblestone patterns fit like puzzle pieces on beige fur. A winding tongue, slightly purply and graphite in colour, snakes its way around fresh shoots and leaves.
