![There are times when you’re navigating the arid landscape and there’s nothing in sight except the flurry of turquoise wings from lilac-breasted rollers and the nervous scuttle of impala. As the vehicle twists and turns on the network of sandy roads with not a predator in sight, you wonder if all that’s on the horizon […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CLeobwhite-370x275.jpg "Lions Take Down Prey while Leopard Sits in Tree Above")
![Lion pride dynamics in any reserve are always shifting and changing with the wind – nothing is ever cast in stone, which is why we can never become emotionally attached to local prides. Prides splinter, lionesses stick together and once strong kings are ousted when the testosterone fuelled sub-adults seek to take over. Sounds complicated?

![nThambo Tree Camp is a gentle oasis located in the midst of the wild Klaserie. Wooden chalets on stilts are dotted around a main central area and the camp is completely unfenced. A hint of a waterhole lies in front of the splash pool; and both sources of water are a major drawcard for a […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/nThamboElliecamp-370x275.jpg "A Wild Life at nThambo Tree Camp")
![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")
![Relaxing on your private balcony, raised to eye level with the treetops, enjoying the cool breeze and the presence of birdsong is a dreamlike reality for some, and at nThambo Tree Camp, it is where the fun only begins.

![The start of May signifies the end of the impala rut. Rams are exhausted from mating and they roam the bushveld with waning stamina and little emotional energy. They become weak and vulnerable prey for predators and an easy take-out meal for eager carnivores. Co-indecently, the beginning of May is also the start of the […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/WildDogsnThambo-370x275.jpg "African Wild Dogs at Sunset")

![In 1961, the song “Poetry in Motion” was released and subsequently flew to the top of the charts. With passionate, heartfelt lyrics such as “I love every movement” and “She’s much too nice to rearrange”; it instantly became a hit during the sixties. The bushveld has its own version of poetry in motion and we’d […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/AOFDucks-370x275.jpg "The Bushveld’s Version of Poetry in Motion")
