Week in Pics: A Mixed Bag of Rare Sightings
Welcome to this week’s collection of “week in pics”. We’ve highlighted a few incredible moments that have happened while out on game drive. Enjoy! Umkumbe Safari Lodge – Leopards: We are acutely aware that one of the female leopards, White Dam, has cubs stashed away close to the property. She has been seen hovering around […]
Sabi Sand Leopard Update from Umkumbe Rangers
The rangers from Umkumbe Safari Lodge are at the forefront of the scoop when it comes to leopard happenings within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Our efficient khaki clad rangers, who are talented wildlife photographers, have been hard at work feeding back information to the office based digital team. The Sabi region is leopard central, […]
Wild dogs hunt impala in Africa on Foot camp!
This was one of those ‘right place, right time’ mornings here in the bush, and although we are in an unfenced camp at Africa on Foot, we couldn’t have expected what happened in the lounge before the sun rose this morning… A confused and exhausted impala found its way into the living area under Africa […]
Week in Pictures: A Walk on the Wild Side
It’s been yet another bumper week in the bush, with the highlights being 1) the sighting of two tiny wild dog pups at their den near Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp; and 2) the sight of a leopard cub with a kill in a tree near Umkumbe Safari Lodge in the Sabi Sand. What […]
Wild Dog Pups Seen in the Klaserie
The discovery of wild dog pups in the Klaserie has led to much excitement among the rangers at Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp. Reports and sightings of predator kills have always been a firm favourite with our readers and guests. However, it’s always nice bring you news of birth rather than death! The […]

These two certainly seem to like each other (although there’s not much to be said for monogamy in the animal world), and we are getting quite used to seeing the big cats of the Klaserie working on growing their families! This male from the Trilogy coalition – identified by his particularly scarred nose – has […]
Umkumbe’s favourite leopard on a kill
Ok, so ‘favourite’ might be a bit biased, because with all the leopards loping in and out of the Umkumbe traverse, there are bound to be other ‘favourites’. But the Notten’s female has been around for such a long time and she exudes confidence and elegance like no other cat does, so it is safe […]
In the middle of a buffalo herd at Africa on Foot
The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve is a buffalo hotspot and usually when we spot a couple, there are hundreds more just out of sight. That was the case on this particular morning on an Africa on Foot walking safari when guide, Greg, led his guests to Twala Dam just before a big herd of buffalo arrived […]
Week in Pictures: Predators in the Power Seat!
It’s been an undeniably awesome week in the Greater Kruger region, which makes this edition of the Week in Pictures particularly difficult. Such a small collection of images to represent such a dynamite week on safari just doesn’t seem fair, but each event has been documented in much greater detail on our Facebook pages, which […]
