![Ok, so ‘favourite’ might be a bit biased, because with all the leopards loping in and out of the Umkumbe traverse, there are bound to be other ‘favourites’.

![The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve is a buffalo hotspot and usually when we spot a couple, there are hundreds more just out of sight.

![It’s been an undeniably awesome week in the Greater Kruger region, which makes this edition of the Week in Pictures particularly difficult. Such a small collection of images to represent such a dynamite week on safari just doesn’t seem fair, but each event has been documented in much greater detail on our Facebook pages, which […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/little-bush-cub-mauritz-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures: Predators in the Power Seat!")

![The week in pictures is a collection of our favourite wildlife images taken during the week. The problem is selecting the images, especially when you’ve had a bumper week.

![There is no denying it, the last couple of days have been an absolute dream for any safari goer, and right here in the Klaserie is where all the action is happening. After an exciting lion-chase that took place one morning, guests settled down to a special breakfast set up in the bush, but unbeknownst to them (and […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/cheetah-head-and-shoulders-eyes-open-370x275.jpg "Single, Spotted, Female: Cheetah in Klaserie")

![Initially, it looked like we had stumbled upon a buffalo bull and his missus in the throes of passion, but as we got a closer look it turned out that there wasn’t a missus in sight! One big bull was mounting a less mature bull while the rest of the herd went about their buffalo business, grazing […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/bull-mounting-younger-bull-370x275.jpg "Buffalo bulls get frisky with one another… ?")

![This is a celebration of Kruger.

Lion photos make us drool, leopard sightings get the pulse racing, and cheetahs are enough to send us over the edge; but when all is quiet and the sun spreads its lava-like warmth over the silent bushveld, the first thing you hear is the chiming, twittering melody of birds announcing that […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/kori-bustard-370x275.jpg "Bonkers About Birds")
