Who are the Hercules Pride?

A skittish Hercules lioness

Recently Africa on Foot has secured further traverse on their western border. This traverse is exclusive to Africa on Foot guests and on a recent afternoon game drive, and the following morning on a walking trail, guests were lucky enough to encounter a lioness with four cubs on a kudu kill. She is still very skittish […]

Week in Pictures: Big Cats, Crocodiles and Babies

Nile Crocodile basks in the sun on the Africa on Foot and nThambo Traverse

Sightings this week in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve proved to be an interesting mix of big cats, crocodiles and babies. It’s not often we get to capture a crocodile on camera. But here we have this incredible Nile crocodile basking in the sun in all its splendour. Being ectothermic (they rely on the environment’s […]

Looking for Leopard Cubs… Big Cat Babies in the Klaserie

Female leopard seen in the Klaserie near Africa on Foot

Well haven’t we been lucky lately? Only last night our guests at nThambo Tree Camp saw a leopard mother and her very small cub calmly walking through the area. In addition, this beautiful female leopard was spotted on our traverse recently looking completely relaxed and at ease with our presence. A privately owned property in the Klaserie was opened up exclusively […]

How to Braai like a South African: Part 1 – Fire Preparation

The firepit in the middle of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve

Our foreign friends like to refer to a braai as a barbecue. Techinically speaking, both verbs have the same literal definition. According to both Wikipedia and the Concise Oxford English dictionary, a braai is “to grill or roast (meat) over open coals”. But for a true South African, a braai is more than a mere […]

Up close and personal at Africa on Foot

Our guests enjoyed an unforgettable elephant sighting the other day when their morning walk turned into one very close encounter with Africa’s largest land mammal. A herd of elephants was spotted about 300m away, and under ranger Greg’s expert leadership, they managed to sit down and enjoy watching the elephants drink and play at the waterhole…getting […]

Video: The Flight Of The Hornbill – Baby Bird Leaves The Nest

Amongst the big cats, wild dogs, and dagha-boys are the smaller details of safari that you can count yourself lucky to see. Made famous by the character Zazu in the Lion King, hornbills are some of the most frequently seen birds in the Kruger Park, but their fascinating breeding behaviour is something to be impressed […]

Week In Pictures: Lions Of The Savuti And Birds Of The Kruger

This week Kevlo have returned from Camp Savuti, located in the Savuti marsh in Chobe National Park. Kevin managed to capture an incredible shot of a male lion quenching his thirst in one of the channels. The Savuti is alive with predator activity and the area is renown for being home to lions that kill […]

We Captured A Buffalo Birth On Camera

The Cape Buffalo is a rather unpredictable bovid and coming face-to-face with this member of the big five can be quite intimidating. They don’t actively do anything but it’s that blank, sociopathic buffalo stare that sends shivers down your spine. Interestingly enough, they rely more on their acute sense of smell to detect potential threats […]
