We Found Lions on Foot During Our 3 Day Kruger Walking Trail
Despite the torrential downpours and unpredictable weather bestowed upon us by moody Mother Nature, our scheduled 3 day walking trail in the Greater Kruger’s Maseke Game Reserve went ahead as planned. This weather is not atypical to the Kruger during the summer months and this time of year we’re at the tail end of summer, so the […]
March Rangers Review : The Wild is Heaving with Cats and Dogs
We’re onto our second edition of the Rangers Review but we’ve have been somewhat delayed due to the interruption of holidays and the Easter weekend. We figure you don’t mind waiting, provided we supply a wealth of images and updates from our side! From our remote Botswana camps to our easily accessible Kruger camps, lions […]
Mutinous Mbiri Lions Tuck into Elephant Killed by Neighbouring Pride
The ruthless Mbiri boys are like mutinous soldiers that break rules, rebel against the status quo and push boundaries to occupy new territories. The Mbiris are covering a wide range on our traverse and certainly aren’t confining themselves to one section, despite other prides vigorously advertising and claiming their portion of land. That’s just the life of […]
Videographer Rogan and Ranger Chade Find the Klaserie Wild Dogs
The African wild dogs are quite prominent on the Klaserie traverse, and guests have been enjoying consistent sightings of these mottled dogs frolicking in waterholes and indulging in ceremonious greetings. Sightings of the dogs are considered rare, and packs tend to cover wide terrain which means it’s hard to track their movements. What we do know is […]

The Beastly Mbiri Male Lions Kill a Kudu Calf in the Klaserie
The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, home to Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp, has been rife with big cat activity. The leopards have risen to power and are taking centre stage in terms of cat sightings while on game drive. That’s not to say that we haven’t enjoyed generous viewings of our burly lions, it’s just […]
The Bush Bar : Beat of the Bushveld
Hugged by crunchy thickets, overlooking a drainage line and protected by a canopy of trees rests the much-talked about Bush Bar. The location is hidden, and only our khaki-clad crew from nThambo Tree Camp and Africa on Foot know how to find this magical bar that has seen plenty of gin tastings, clinking of glasses and […]
Massive Male Leopard Kills 6 Month Old Leopard Cub, Then Eats It
Warning : Sensitive content Up Ahead There’s no easy way of delivering this heartbreaking message of a cruel and untimely death of a curious leopard cub. How this fluffy rosette patterned cat met its fate isn’t unusual, but was downright strange to witness. The event will certainly go down in the Klaserie’s history book of […]
Festive Week in Pics : 2017 is a Wrap!
2017 is drawing to a close, and the year has plummeted into oblivion as quickly as a pied kingfisher dive bombs its prey. The year has been an interesting one, with new camps climbing aboard the Sun Destinations portfolio and a marked shift in lion pride behaviour across all of the reserves. The four […]
