Christina’s First Hand Account of White Lions on a Kill
“Something always dies when the lion feeds and yet there is meat for those that follow him” – Wilbur Smith Seeing a white lion in the wild is rare. Seeing white lions on kill, devouring their latest meal is even more of a rare occurrence. Yet, this is exactly what happened at Africa on Foot. Only a […]
Mapoza Lions Take Buffalo Kill from Lionesses… Again
This is starting to look like a trend in the world of the Mapoza lions: Once again we have found them stealing a hard-earned meal from the Ross Breakaway lionesses!

Week in Pictures: Winter Wildlife
Temperatures are at an annual low at this time of year, as winter fastens its grip in Southern Africa.
