![The dominant male leopard on our traverse is called Maxabeni. He is quite solid in his size and stature; and is often spotted protecting his territory. Leopards are nocturnal creatures who spend their daytime hours resting to conserve their much needed energy for kills; which is why Maxabeni sightings happen mainly in the dead of […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/WIPLeopard2-700x260-370x275.jpg "Meet Maxabeni, Umkumbe’s Dominant Male Leopard")
![This week Kevlo have returned from Camp Savuti, located in the Savuti marsh in Chobe National Park. Kevin managed to capture an incredible shot of a male lion quenching his thirst in one of the channels. The Savuti is alive with predator activity and the area is renown for being home to lions that kill […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/WIP-SAvuti1-700x260-370x275.jpg "Week In Pictures: Lions Of The Savuti And Birds Of The Kruger")
![Harvey’s Pan in Botswana’s renowned Savute region seems to be occupied by a pair of rather ferocious king cats! After 2 nights of roaring heard at Camp Savuti, a fierce-looking male and his equally stern lioness were located in the shade near one of Harvey’s Pan waterholes. Keeping well hidden, these cats were a mystery […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/lion-charge-savuti-kevin-700x260-370x275.jpg "Lion Charge In The Savute Kingdom")
![The Cape Buffalo is a rather unpredictable bovid and coming face-to-face with this member of the big five can be quite intimidating. They don’t actively do anything but it’s that blank, sociopathic buffalo stare that sends shivers down your spine. Interestingly enough, they rely more on their acute sense of smell to detect potential threats […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/buffalobirthklaserie3-370x275.jpg "We Captured A Buffalo Birth On Camera")
![Bull giraffe are not violent by nature but certainly have a protective instinct when their young are under threat.

![The Trilogy appear to be staking their claim on the old Ross Pride territory which covers the nThambo Tree Camp and Africa on Foot traverse in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. Over the past few months, and in the latter part of 2014, this trio have become a formidable force in “their” reserve.

![Since the Trilogy coalition sauntered into Ross Pride territory and wrecked havoc with the resident lion pride, they have been the 3 dominant males in the area, and they run a tight ship. Battle scars define their faces, and one male walks with a limp, while together they have a temperament to be cautious of.

![This is one of those things you would only hear about in Africa, where rumours of pet elephants and lions in the garden circulate the globe. We landed with Major Blue Air in the blissfully jolty fashion that shook us out of a mesmerised state after having flown over this epic World Heritage Site in […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/lion-delta-2-kevinmac-cropped-370x275.jpg "Hold the air traffic – there’s a lion on the airstrip!")
