When you go on safari to the Kruger, a kaleidoscope of colour awaits. The fawn and tawny hues of lions, colourful plumes on birds, blood red sunsets and khaki-green landscapes combine to produce an incredible palette of natural paints. You’ll see hues and tints you probably can’t pinpoint on any colour spectrum. The interior design of lodges is often based on the colours nature has naturally placed together.
For this week in pictures, we’re going to highlight the images that combine the most intense and contrasting colours. It’s Friday and we want you to have a vibrant weekend!
Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp
Before we share a few of our most spectacular colour-filled photos with you, we just want to quickly give you and update from the week. The highlight of the week at Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp has been the sighting of the endangered nomadic wild dogs. The pack was spotted close to the dam and appeared to be quite playful. Another incredible sighting, not to be surpassed by the wild dog sighting, was that of a male leopard. This elusive cat kept its distance and strolled along the road in front of the vehicle.
Below are just a handful of our most colourful images from Billy’s Lodge and River Lodge. This week there have been incredible sightings. Duma, the king of the Olifants West Pride, was seen while out on game drive. He wasn’t the only cat to make an appearance. An elusive but majestic leopardess was seen hiding in the fork of a tree. The usual suspects were seen enjoying time in their natural habitat – elephants, giraffe, Cape buffalo and an array of birds.
We are inundated with reports of leopard sightings at Umkumbe and Mxabene seems to hog the limelight in terms of sightings. Tatowa, a relatively new leopardess, was seen feasting on a young impala. Kigelia, Little Bush’s cub, was spotted exploring her immediate area. During the weekly #LiveBushFeed session, a somewhat reserved and shy cheetah was seen surveying the landscape. And let’s not forget the unusual appearance of an ostrich during the sundowner session.
Enjoy the week in pictures – have a bright and colourful weekend !
