Week in Pictures: Colour By Nature

The golden hour captures one of Africa's most famously photogenic animals

If there is anything constant or predictable about nature, it’s that it is spectacularly colourful. Every morning there is a sunrise to paint the dawn peachy tones of pink, and every evening there is a sunset that stains the sky all shades of salmon. Even if there is a build up of cloud in the wide […]

The Happy Faces of Africa on Foot

Pretty - housekeeping at Africa on Foot

What’s there not to smile about when the Klaserie is your back garden? These toothy smiles belong to some of Africa on Foot‘s most valued staff members, and when photographer, Em Gatland, visited recently she captured their best sides in an impromptu photo shoot on the lodge grounds. Sure, we are missing some key members […]

Klaserie Safari Time Lapse Video

A whirlwind safari recorded on Greg’s ‘dash cam’ as he guides a game drive at Africa on Foot in the Klaserie. A chilly winter’s morning with a bit too much wind last week meant that a game drive was opted for over a walking safari, and Greg mounted his camera to record the bushveld cruise […]

Week in Pictures : Lions, Leopards and Everything in Between

Ross Pride Breakaways

Welcome to the “Week in Pictures”, a time to celebrate the events of the week. This week, across the board, we’ve seen a marked increase in big cat sightings. That’s not to say we haven’t enjoyed a wealth of other sightings such as plains game, pachyderms and rare creatures. Here’s the update and photos from the […]

Another Wild Dog Den on the Radar!

One female dog looks as though she is lactating

If you’ve been following our wildlife updates for long enough, you’ll remember the excitement that surrounded the discovery of a wild dog den near Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp almost a year ago. This is some sensational news, as we know these super predators are an endangered species, and we are lucky enough […]

Ross Breakaway Lionesses: #BestFriendsForever

Ross Breakaway lionesses grooming each other

These endearing photos taken of the Ross Breakaway lionesses show their softer side, while an image of one of the females baring her teeth shows her true colours… They are wild cats, of course, and they survive on live prey, but their bond as sisters appears to be unbreakable. We have watched them over the years as they […]

The Week in Pictures: A Spectacular Performance of Nature

The amber-eyed glare of a Trilogy male lion. At a time when numerous male lions are attempting to proclaim their territory, tensions are high in the Klaserie wilderness

Coming face to face with animals in their natural habitat is becoming more and more of a privilege, as various species become rare and endangered in the wild. Our role in the safari world is to offer a glimpse into the wild lives of animals where they live and behave naturally around us. We are […]

WHAT? Two New Male Lions Mate with Ross Lionesses

Male Lion nThambo

Mabande moved in on Trilogy turf and mated with the Ross Pride Breakaway lionesses. Two of the Trilogy returned to reclaim their land and their “women”. They fought with Mabande and he kept a low profile for a while. During his hiding out phase, the Trilogy mated with the Ross Pride Breakaway’s and conducted a […]

Week in Pics: Where the Wild Things Are

Africa On Foot Trunks

Maurice Sendak famously wrote and illustrated a children’s book called “Where the Wild Things Are”, which shot to fame in the early 1960’s. We’ve decided that his inspiration surely must have been Botswana and Kruger during the winter time. This week in pictures, we’ve received endless wildlife reports – it appears Botswana and Kruger are pumping […]
