With Kevin and Chloe on their way to Botswana, and Jochen and Mira being based in the Klaserie, this week we focus on Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp.
The birding has been fantastic with Summer migrants galore and European Roller’s especially…
…but also Wahlberg’s Eagle
At our dams we had Knob-billed duck
…and elephants play-fighting
Not to forget we had the most amazing Wild Dog kill ever, in front of our vehicle!
…but that does not mean we did not have eye for the smaller creatures, like this scrub hare.
We’ve had multiple sighting of our big boys, “The Trilogy”
Here’s a close-up.
And we’ve had a herd of buffalo move through. The most fun part was trying to get good shots of oxpeckers.
Also good rhino sightings. Top sighting was three males, a calf, and a bull …together!
Back to the smaller creatures. We saw Dung Beetles are hard at work.
…and a troop of Vervet monkeys with new offspring.
We’ve also had a cheetah sighting.
And this morning the dogs came back a second time.
They were in a playful mood!
Let’s start off with our most amazing sighting of the week; a Wild Dog chase…
…and the kill
We also saw rhino almost every day
These Giraffe posed for us
Elephants had a bit of a fight in one of our dams
…but they made up later
We’ve also seen our three big male lions “The Trilogy” multiple times
Here is another close up
Which does not mean we don’t enjoy the smaller creatures, like Steenbokkies!
or Swainson’s Spurfowl
or Vervet Monkeys!
A big herd of buffalo moved through, they also took a bath in our biggest dam
We had African Hawk-Eagles giving us a show (one drawing attention while the other goes for the kill)
