Week in Pictures: Colour By Nature
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
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 […]
Sabi Sand Lion Cubs Put on a Show for Umkumbe Rangers
We think it’s time for another lion pride update from the Sabi Sand. This time we’re not delivering the guts and glory tales of gory kills and blushing moments of lions mating. Today we bring you photos of tawny bundles of lion cubs, specifically the new Sabi Sand lion cubs that have breathed new life […]
Two Leopards and Only One Steenbok at Ezulwini
When there is more than enough to go around, there is no reason to poach another predator’s prey, right? Well, not entirely. These two leopards were only doing what’s natural when we caught them in the act at Ezulwini Billy’s Lodge recently. One leopardess we know as Van Wijk’s female was chasing another leopardess called Manana […]
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 […]
Umkumbe Leopards: Toms Dominate Recent Sightings
The past couple of weeks on the Umkumbe traverse we’ve certainly not had any reason to shout “girl power”. We normally enjoy a varied mix of both female and male leopard sightings, but recently the toms have dominated the leopard sightings. Males tend to cover a wide range and spend much of their time defending territories […]
Week in Pictures : Lions, Leopards and Everything in Between
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!
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 […]
Prehistoric Looking Pangolin Spotted in Sabi Sand
The pangolin is prehistoric looking creature covered in a scaly, protective armour and is rarely seen. Little is known about these notoriously shy mammals, but we do know they’re a protected species and sightings of them in the wild always need to be celebrated. It is estimated that over 100, 000 pangolins are captured on an annual […]
