Week in Pictures: Wild at Heart
Fridays mean a lot of things to a lot of people, and to us it means it’s time to reflect on the top wildlife sightings to come out of our Kruger and Botswana camps during the week! As per Friday tradition, we like to ease into the afternoon with a collection of images captured in […]
Hercules Pride Lions Hunting Buffalo
The Hercules Pride has made a name for itself as a ferocious family of lions, determined to remain wild, and intolerant of neighbouring prides. Their usual territory is on a private property neighbouring Africa on Foot, but with the lack of fences in the Klaserie, the lions move freely and lately we’ve been seeing them […]
BREAKING: 3 New Lion Cubs for Ross Breakaway Lionesses!
What could be more exciting than a fresh batch of lion cubs? Not very much! The top discovery of the weekend has to be the breaking news of the new Ross Breakaway cubs. With all the superb lion action taking place in the Klaserie, from the Hercules Pride, to the Mapozas, we’ve had enough to keep our […]
Wine Tasting in the Kruger Wilderness
The combination of wine tasting and safari could possibly be the match made in heaven we’ve all been dreaming about. Packing a cooler box with your refreshment of choice is game drive protocol, but a wine tasting event on safari is nThambo Tree Camp and Africa on Foot’s idea of how to watch the sunset! […]
A Honeymoon Dinner with Africa’s Gentle Giants
What’s on your honeymoon wishlist? A destination unknown, perhaps? Maybe your honeymoon is your first trip to the African bush, where iconic animals roam free under night skies scattered with stars, planets, and galaxies visible to the naked eye. There is a certain romance in the warm evening air, the shrill call of cicadas unseen, […]
Hercules Pride Spotted Again & the “Cubs” are Growing!
The notorious Hercules Pride has been spotted again on the Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp traverse, where this elusive and not-so-friendly pride has been seen intermittently for the last 18 months. The last we saw of these lions was 2 months ago when we reported a little drizzle of rain and the unexpected […]
Week in Pictures: All Creatures Great and Small
When it comes to wildlife photography, where can we draw the line? There is wild life in everything, from the trees, to the soil, to the birds and the bees. It’s buffaloes and beasts alike that draw our attention at first glance: the rosetted pelt of a leopard streaking through the bush, the flick of a […]
Another Day, Another Feast for Klaserie Lions
With the tough drought conditions that have plagued the Kruger Park this year, it’s no surprise that the grazing animals are weaker than they would be if they had fed on the green grass of summer. In the Klaserie, we’ve seen the buffaloes falling victim to hungry lions regularly, meaning that the king predators are getting […]
Rare Photos of Both Mapoza Male Lions
The two Mapoza male lions who strutted onto the property a few months ago have increased their their confidence tenfold. The pair came, saw, and appear to have conquered, this part of the Klaserie. We questioned whether these males could would be a match for the Trilogy, but it seems the Trilogy males were the ones to lay […]
