![Remember when we reported seeing a lone male lion, wandering around the Klaserie, testing the waters and peering warily through the brush? He was said to belong to a pride in the Balule, but when we saw him he was alone. Well, now he is back, and this time he has 3 lionesses in tow!

![Mxabene and the Bicycle Crossing male leopards are regulars on the Umkumbe traverse. Occupying different parts of the reserve, there’s generally no cause for concern about a potential scuffle and blood-curdling cat fight. While a sequel to Brad Pitt’s “Fight Club” might be well-received, it’s not something we’d like to witness in the world of leopards!

Monday is an internationally celebrated public holiday known as Worker’s Day or May Day, which means our short stint of a weekend gains an extra day. In the bushveld time has no meaning – a slow and exquisite pace of life continues as […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/WIP-Ez-Chav-370x275.jpg "Week in Pics : Gliding into the Long Weekend")
![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")
