Week in Pictures: A Little Slice of Heaven
We’ve spent the week cruising through the waterways of the Delta, bumbling over the rocky terrain of the Balule Nature Reserve, accelerated through the thick sand of Botswana, and sailed across the plains of the Sabi Sand and the sandy riverbeds in the Klaserie. We’ve seen the beginnings of rain add touches of green to […]
Hyena Cub Joins Clan’s Feeding Frenzy

And it appears that a wealth of wildlife have emerged from the thickets to display a set of unique behaviours. This week […]
Bellies Full of Buffalo for Mapoza and Breakaway Lions
This morning’s game drive at nThambo Tree Camp was a spectacular affair of wildlife, and we reckon the highlight of the safari was seeing the Mapoza male lions with the Ross Breakaway lionesses feeding on a fresh buffalo kill! These well known females were on the social media news most recently when they lost a […]
Cheetah Casually Strolls into nThambo Tree Camp
The cheetah is a slender diurnal cat with a placid nature that enjoys a lifestyle of lone wandering.

They hunt […]
